Everyday Diversity™ They Went to School...Where?

Avoiding Bias in Hiring

Bias and stereotypes can impact us in many ways... including assuming that just because someone didn’t go to prestigious university - they won’t be a great employee. So, when we are reviewing resumes for new hires, it is important to not let those biases keep us from seriously considering candidates for reasons like the school they attended.

Additional Information

We all have biases. It is the way that our brain is hard wired. When we have an unconscious bias, it means that our brain is taking small pieces of evidence and inferring other information.
