Cyber talents send CVs, pass interviews… and then hit pure radio silence. In this episode, Hidden Layer looks at recruitment as a black box: a pipeline with almost no logging, where layout, photo, structure and text density often decide who gets filtered out long before real skills are evaluated.

Speaking as a spokesperson for Baka’s experience in cyber and AI, the episode breaks down how this presentation bias quietly weakens resilience for teams and CISOs. It then introduces the architecture behind an upcoming anti-bias CV scanner, a logging layer that measures how exposed a CV is to system bias, without inferring any protected attributes.

For cyber experts, recruiters and security leaders who want signal, not noise, about what their talent pipeline is really doing.

"So, where are you from?"It sounds like a polite question. In reality, it is a filter.When a recruiter asks "No, where are you really from?", they are processing the wrong data. They are focusing on your history, not your capability.

In this inaugural briefing of Hidden Layers, On behalft of Baka Diop (The Architect), I declassifie the "Origin Glitch" a systemic bias that costs the tech industry billions in lost talent.

Inside this briefing:

• The Glitch: Why the human brain obsesses over accents and origins instead of code.

• The Data: How "whitening" a resume increases callbacks by 50% (University of Chicago Study).

• The Waste: Why excluding neurodivergent talent kills 140% of potential productivity.

• The Fix: How the BluePink Neural Grid encrypts identity to force a focus on pure skill.

Code has no nationality. It's time to stop hiring resumes and start deploying Ciphers.

Welcome back to the Resilient Woman Breaking Barriers Podcast.

I'm Baka Diop, and today we're tackling a word that's very close to my heart.

A word that not only defines my journey but also fits uncountable stories of women across the globe "Resilience".

Resilience, the capacity to recover and bounce back from adversity, continues to be the backbone of individual success stories.

Not just to survive, but to thrive, despite the challenges life may present.

Today, I unfold my journey through life, split into five parts.

Each part focuses on key experiences, from my roots to my ambitions, that have defined and shaped my resilience.

We will explore the challenges of navigating the tech world as a triple minority, the impact and power of voice, the trials of leadership, the misconceptions surrounding high intellectual potential, and the power and pushback of ambition.

So sit back, grab your favourite cup of tea or coffee, and join me as we explore these layers of resilience.

Who knows, you might find parts of your story in mine.

Let's dive in."Welcome to episode 1 - Resilience"
