Skit Day (Good Data vs. Bad Data)
Adding more steps does not lead to better selection
Unstructured/ interview processes = more false positives in the hiringprocess What you get is lots of superficial data, but nothing relevant pertaining to
their ability to do the job The underlying job profile should be focused on driving results of the
organization

Successful hiring begins with a mission to
reduce uncertainty about a candidatespotential to be the best fit relative to very
specific criteria.
However, many organizations fall into a
pattern of incorporating information that isnot job-relevant.

We Only Hire Pretty aka the ElleWoods
Aka Physical attractiveness bias Your hiring managers hire people who attractive,
more than ugly people. Not just your malemanagers!
Studies show that the more attractive you are, the
more all positive skill and behavioral traits getapplied to you in an employment setting I like girls who wear Abercrombie and Fitch Men at risk of this bias more than women
(Shocking!)
Women may penalize other women withattractiveness higher than their own Men Like Women Who Women Like Men Who Some would say this naturally plays to age, but its
broader than that

Short People Got No Reason aka the 86 classic Wimps
Aka: Height Bias Randy Neumann said it best: Short
people get the raw end of the deal $789 more per year, per inch Fortune CEOs avg. 6 ft, 2.5 inches
taller than avg. man. 30% over 62,only 3.9% of American population.
Is it height or confidence? But wait! Theres gender stuff that
affects how height is viewed: Men actually prefer shorter women

Where Did You Go to School? aka
Frank The Tank Aka - Educational Background Bias Is it the most personal of all
biases? We think so. Think referral networks, my friend Flavors:
I want a Ivy -League MBA for thisrole
Alumni taking care of their own Concept of being over-educated for
the role in question College Degree requirement Stigma of some college or seeing
the name of the university without agraduation date

She has that certain something aka Van Wilder
Aka Smooth Talker Bias Studies show that effective
communicators alwaysperform better in interviews
Effective communication or
buzzword bingo? Building comfort and dialog
with the hiring manager is key,as is shutting the hell uponce in awhile
Time of Possession in theinterview is the key, as isreacting to the preferred cuesof the manager

Weight Bias aka The Omega Mus
While obesity certainly can beconsidered part of bias related toattractiveness, it deserves its ownmention
Impacts women more than men Is Obesity a Workplace Disability? Americas new normal Linked to concerns around absenteeism
and health beyond attractiveness Average annual medical costs claims
per 100 obese FTEs - $51K (for 100non-obese 8K)
The real deal do qualifications andability to perform outweigh costconcerns?

1. Screen Resumes like Heidi picking herHomecoming Date!
Youve got a bunch of resumes The worst thing you can do is hand the
entire stack, or a small stack, to yourhiring manager
Broad choice = Implied ability to dowhatever he/she wants
Treat your desk like a search firm,control false positives by only providing
candidates that are past a threshold of KSAs. Note This wont eliminate false
positives, but it controls them

2. HR = Sorority House Mom
Its called peer pressure, folks.
Its harder to make a decision thatwould appear shaky on paper whenother people are charged withinterviewing and giving the hiringmanager feedback
All the girls have a vote = Behaviorthat is socially acceptable, reducedrisk taking, etc.
Panels? We prefer multipleinterviewers in single sessions,follow by brief, facilitatedbreakdown sessions

3. Who let the Crazy girl into the house?
Lets say you dont do a lot of candidate screening for yourmanagers, and you dont have time for multiple interviews.
How do you control some of the hiring biases weve covered? Simple make them accountable by keeping score Idea Hiring Manager Batting Average how many hires made
by the manager are around in 12 and 24 months Not enough volume? Roll it up to the dept level with breakouts
for the individual manager level.
Scoreboard = Attention to Quality of Hire (Post Publicly)

4. My Little Sister is Fab!
Nothing shows you howsomeone can perform betterthan live work experiences,
performance drills, etc. Helps the victims of bias show
their true colors to you and yourmanagers.
Its hard work but wortheverything youll put into it!

5. Like, I know her ex-boyfriend
What is the final step of 99% of recruitingprocesses, before theoffer?
You need to move it up. You need to go deeper. You need to make it
competency based,and
You need to stop doingthem (if youre doingthem wrong!)
