The Cost of Recruitment Bias (and How To Manage It)

Accounting On Purpose

Today I want to talk to you about recruitment bias and how it plays into the daily running of your business. The cost of recruitment bias needs to be examined in order to make good decisions as you move the business forward.
In this episode we look into unconscious bias in recruitment that you may have and general unconscious bias in the workplace and how once we recognise where it shows up, we can begin to manage it. One way that unconscious bias in recruitment and selection plays out is the moment we even think about hiring. We look at the person who was hired before and think that we need another one of them when in fact, there may have been inefficiencies about that role that can now be managed in a new way.
The good news is that our unconscious bias in recruiting can be managed if we begin to ask the right questions. If you’re not sure that you contribute to unconscious bias in the workplace (unconscious bias @ work), then I’d love for you to listen and critically examine your own behaviour and perhaps begin to put into place the suggestions I make around how to go about lowering your own recruitment bias.
