Innovative recruitment platforms aim to eliminate bias
Trend - In an effort to engage in ethical hiring practices, brands have begun leveraging progressive recruitment platforms that eliminate particular elements of traditional hiring processes that are seen to lead to unfairness and bias. In addition to highlighting the ever-evolving experience of recruitment in the digital age, this progression demonstrates the attitude of the emerging workforce that conventional hiring practices may not best serve all stakeholders.
Insight - When people are involved in recruitment, it can be extremely difficult to separate both conscious and unconscious biases during the hiring process. In an age where young people pay attention to and demand justice, North Americans are increasingly expecting equal opportunity processes that empower people of all ages, genders, and ethnic or religious backgrounds–instead of valuing a select few above the rest. Thus, brands are having to tweak how they market to or recruit individuals, in order to ensure that all parties are well-represented and the process is fair.
