Equal company. Recruitment free from bias

“Research shows that we tend to favor people who are similar to us and choose those with whom we “feel chemistry”. Meanwhile, a good team is not one that thinks and acts identically, even if it means generating solutions and achieving goals quickly and effectively. It is one that, as a result of the clash of different perspectives, points of view and creative thinking stimulated by the diversity of the group, notices more risks and opportunities to ultimately create the best solution for the organization.”

In the latest Forbes Women, I discuss the principle of equality in hiring and recruiting without prejudice. I draw attention to the importance of diversity on the shortlist of candidates, the trap of opinion consistency, and the risk of confirmation bias.
