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.

Access The Grid

Cybersecurity is not just about firewalls. It’s about the people behind them.But the industry is broken. It hires resumes instead of skills. It judges origins instead of code.

Hidden Layers is the official audio briefing from BluePink Security Inc., the world's first Neural Defense Grid.

Hosted on behalf of Baka Diop ("The Architect"), this show declassifies the reality of the cyber talent market. We explore:

• The Human Glitch: How bias creates security vulnerabilities.

• The Cipher Protocol: Why anonymity is the ultimate weapon for competence.

• The Future: How AI and Meritocracy are rewriting the rules of defense.

We don't employ staff. We deploy Ciphers.The Grid is live. Subscribe to access the intel.
