We all have biases. How they impact our decisions and actions is up to us. Unfortunately, when we do not account for our unconscious biases in hiring, they can:

A. Always lead to compliance problems, typically in the form of lawsuits.

B. Cause us to make decisions in favor of one person or group to the detriment of others.

C. Be balanced by others on the hiring team if we have enough people in the room. We need to have enough people to "average it out" and improve compliance.

D. Generally have minimal impact if we effectively train everyone. Regardless of hiring processes, everyone will know how to behave and keep biases in check.
