In any recruitment approach, unconscious bias can quickly sabotage the hiring quality. This is until you automate the conventional resume screening practices and let RChilli resume parser in Oracle HCM encourage blind screening and accurately parse candidate data.
But, before we share how our parser can break the bias shackles, let’s discuss what hiring bias is.
Imagine you’re a recruiter, and a top management position is open in your company. As a hiring manager, you’re asked to find a talented candidate and fill the position fast. You already know a few men who’d be a good fit: a guy who is an alumnus of your university, another who worked with your mentor in the previous company, and then there’s the one your friend recommended.
What’s worth noting here is that before you post the job opening, there are candidates already ranked top in your preference list and will get more attention than others. Such informal shortlists often result in jeopardizing the candidate selection process.
Apart from this, the preference for male candidates suggests that men are more suitable for the role than their fairer counterparts. Thus, when people consider filling an opening for a job profile, male candidates will automatically come to their minds.
In other words, your biased recruitment process will have a comparatively higher proportion of male candidate resumes than the equally or better qualified female candidates. The reason? They come to mind first.
However, gender bias isn’t the only problem here. There are other biases, too, including,
Confirmation bias,
Halo bias, and
Affinity bias
