Even the most experienced and well-intentioned hiring managers are subject to implicit bias — the mental shortcuts our brains use to evaluate people quickly. In a hiring context, these shortcuts can quietly skew decisions in ways that have nothing to do with whether a candidate will actually thrive in the role. The result is that strong candidates may get passed over, weaker candidates advance, and your team ends up smaller and less effective than it could be. Recognizing where implicit bias tends to show up in hiring is the first step toward making more rigorous, defensible decisions and building the strongest possible team for your campers.
