Bias BIAS A characteristic deviation from rational judgment causing a person to make assumptions or inferences about others and situations

Bias in selection https: //www. kiratalent. com/

Types of bias • Groupthink – once someone is positive or negative about an applicant, the rest of the reviewers are likely to agree, even if their initial opinion was different. • Halo effect – if an applicant has one excellent quality, you are likely to deflect other flaws in the applicant. • Confirmation bias – when an individual seeks, interprets, selects, or remembers information in a way that confirms his or her own beliefs or ideas. • In-group bias - when a reviewer gives a candidate preference because they perceive the candidate to be within the same ‘group’ as them.

Types of bias • Conservatism – when reviewers maintain a prior view without properly adjusting for new information. • Bizarreness effect – a form of bias that can make a candidate stand out above others due to a unique experience or hobby. • Stereotype bias – self-explanitory. • Status Quo bias – an emotional attachment to the current state of being; it’s an aversion to change. • Recency bias - when coming to a conclusion about events over a period of time, we assign more weight to events that happen recently than we do to events further back in time.
