Hiring Bias - Diversity & Inclusion Drama e learning video examples in recruitment and HR Elearning

Hiring bias occurs as recruiters tend to hire people who are similar to themselves. This isn’t an over discrimination, but rather can occur through Unconscious Bias affecting candidates’ chances throughout the recruitment process.

CVs and resumes contain a lot of useful information for employers, but also are loaded with details that can signal race, class, and gender. Even the most self-aware hiring managers can turn away qualified candidates because of their Unconscious Bias.

Left unchecked and Hiring Bias can see companies building a workforce that will just replicate whatever demographics and tendencies that are already in place - to the company’s disadvantage.

Recruiters who think about diversity and inclusion in their recruiting processes gain access to a much larger pool of potential applicants than those who confine their efforts to a narrow demographic slice.

So what is Hiring Bias and how can you avoid it in your recruitment processes?

What makes gravitas a “loaded academic word?” It just means high seriousness. Lots of the points in this video are subjective themselves.

KSA or DIE.
If you’re a government worker or a veteran that has applied for a government job your qualifications are based upon KSA = Knowledge, Skills, Ability.

DIE = Diversity, Inclusion, Equity (Equity is not the same as Equality) does nothing to prove an individual’s Knowledge, Skills and Ability to do the job.

If a company feels compelled to add a DIE hiring manager or change their company logo to rainbow colors to pander to the LGBTQ group or DIE group, it’s perceived as patronizing and thus that company may have had prior discriminatory hiring practices.

Bottom line…any public or private company that discriminates against a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, economic status, veteran status or disability is in violation of State and Federal employment laws. KSA or DIE. Teach your children well
