The Role of Unconscious Bias in Tech Hiring Practices

Unconscious bias in tech hiring practices plays a significant role in perpetuating a homogeneous workforce. Many times, these biases are not evident to those making hiring decisions but can lead to a preference for candidates who share similar backgrounds or experiences to the decision-makers. This can inadvertently exclude qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds, reinforcing a cycle of bias and limiting innovation.
