Stephanie Lampkin, 32, is the founder of Blendoor, a software platform that aims to help eliminate bias in the early stage of job interviewing.
Blendoor takes an applicant's name, age, gender, and photo out of the equation, so those details don't take the focus away from an applicant's skills, work history and education. It's already being used by recruiters at big tech firms like Facebook, Google, Twitter and Airbnb.
Blendoor also integrates with a company's HR systems to identify where bias may be happening in the interview process.
Lampkin, who has a Stanford engineering degree and an MBA from MIT, created Blendoor out of her own frustrations with the interviewing in the tech industry.
