Unconscious bias in recruiting

[@leninrojas]

Thanks for sharing such a creative video.

Great video 👏👏👏

[@LanceSloan-UMich]

Great video! It needs one small correction: At 2:12 the word "decision" is incorrectly spelt "desision".

What about hiring through networks and connections? This can really hurt diversity and lead to discrimination.

[@andrewd4413]

Exactly, White networks. Its why certain groups are very underrepresented in many industries.

[@andrewd4413]

So true, look up "racial homophily" and reas about homophily in general.

why do people tend to be bias ?

gembeification this is pretty interesting.. I have a female co worker who applied to two of the same exact jobs I applied for. She’s received offers and interviews from both. I wasn’t interviewed or offer any of the two jobs. We have the same education.. she also has a LinkedIn with her profile picture and I closed my LinkedIn last year.. I’ve seen her resume and she’s seen mine.. I have the better experience but I also think these companies are looking for a certain personality or gender at times even if you make it pass the interview stage

@@Coolguy-fz5re this is the point though, it works both ways! having unconscious bias training will benefit both women and men, and people of all skin tones because you have to question your assumptions about people. steps towards equality benefit everyone :)
