Objective Hiring Training
As Business Psychologists, we are experts in unconscious bias and the processes we can put in place to overcome that bias.
If you’ve heard the noise around unconscious bias training not working, it is useful to be aware that training alone is indeed unhelpful. In recruitment, we need training, processes, hiring materials and methods that work together to overcome biases. Awareness alone does not stop us from being biased.
That is what we introduce in our workshops to train hiring managers and HR professionals to be more objective and therefore more effective in assessing candidates for external hire, internal promotion, and indeed for any cause such as performance and development.
We explore what is happening in the brain when we meet people and judge them instantly, show the harmful impacts of that for diversity, inclusion, equity, innovation, results and overall business performance, and show people how they can overcome these challenges.
Whether you are looking for general interview skills training or a broader introduction to bias, assessment or how to use your specific hiring guides and assessment centre materials, we can help. Get in touch with us and we can show you how.
Whilst our work in unconscious bias, more objective recruitment practice and interview skills training brings us into the world of improving diversity, we are not experts in the broader work of diversity data analysis or attracting and promoting a more diverse team. Which is actually pretty exciting, because we get the opportunity to partner with brilliant people who are experts in that field.
