Controlling Bias in Performance-based Hiring Interviews

More hiring mistakes are made in the first 30 minutes of the face-to-face interview than at any other time. Most interviewers unconsciously react to the candidate’s first impression, good and bad. If you’ve ever hired someone who makes a great first impression but doesn’t deliver the results needed, you’ve experienced one side of this first impression bias problem firsthand. On the flip side, who knows how many great candidates you might have lost because they weren’t “first impression perfect.” In this course from the creator of performance-based hiring, Lou Adler, you’ll learn techniques to conduct more objective interviews and become aware of your own biases. By increasing your objectivity, you’ll stop hiring people who are long on presentation and personality but short on ability.

Topics covered are:

•  Describe the different types of interview biases
•  Implement 10 techniques to increase your objectivity during an interview
•  Differentiate between the macro and micro approaches to controlling bias
•  Identify your own interview biases and ways you can control them during actual interviews

This course includes:

• Approximately 18 minutes of video lessons.
• A quiz with multiple-choice questions to check your understanding.
