Description

Hire the best candidates and grow your organization by creating a more emotionally intelligent and wiser hiring and recruiting process in your organization.

IDENTIFY YOUR UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

Unconscious bias is so difficult to identify and reverse because most of us are in denial about having it in the first place. If asked whether they have unconscious bias, most people would confidently say that they either don't have it or have it minimally.

EXERCISES TO CHECK YOUR BIAS

It's one thing to reluctantly admit that you might have a bias, but it's another thing to be shown that you have a bias. In this course, we'll go over some easy exercises anyone can do in order to uncover the extent of their unconscious bias.

REVERSING UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

It's not enough to fully realize that you have bias. The next step is to want to fix that, and to take the necessary actions to fix that. We'll go over things you can do to begin reversing your bias.

BENEFITS OF THIS COURSE

By the end of this course, you will make your hiring process a more fair one to yourself and to your candidates. Everyone will win. You will get the best possible employees, and your candidates will be treated fairly and without prejudice, preconceived notions, or bias.
