The Impact of Stereotyping on Candidate Assessment

Unconscious bias often manifests through stereotyping, where interviewers make assumptions based on a candidate's gender, ethnicity, age, or educational background. In tech, this can result in unfairly undervaluing the skills of underrepresented groups and potentially missing out on top talent. Structured interviews, where every candidate is asked the same set of questions, can help reduce the influence of stereotypes.
