In this episode, Ilit Raz and I discuss everything that’s wrong with Diversity Recruitment Hiring, PLUS

:

How Ilit got her start in product management in Unit 8200 (Israeli Military Intelligence) as a woman

How her path was anything but typical as a woman in a male-saturated Israeli startup world

How she was almost thrown out of school in 10th grade — and still managed to fix things

How she was accidentally exposed to the scale of the gender pay (and STEM education) gap and other prominent biases in the workplace, despite not believing in them much

How she finally perceived and acknowledged her own biases of perception and experience

How to turn men into allies in the fight against the gender pay and STEM gap, without alienating them

How men often over-promise and under-deliver and women under-promise and over-deliver — and what it means for workforce dynamics

Why she avoids VCs and other entrepreneurs wanting to “invest in women”

How she managed to pivot her vision and her company after a huge co-founder conflict — and her recommendation for avoiding it

Ilit’s vision for Joonko and the space in the next 5 years

Her simple, but profound wisdom for founders and other listeners
