What is a bias-free hiring process?
We all have biases. Some are conscious, and some operate on the unconscious level. But what happens when our beliefs (even those we are unaware of) interfere in a hiring process? Bias-free recruitment ensures that all candidates are assessed similarly and based on the same criteria. This practice will consider their qualities, education and skills rather than their appearance or background.
