I recently read that 52% of interviewers make their decision about a candidate within five to 15 minutes of an interview starting. If someone is coming to a conclusion that quickly, it’s clear to me there’s a lot of unconscious biases at play in their interview process. All humans experience bias, but I have a few key tips to reduce your preconceived notions and make smarter hiring decisions. I break down the eight common interview biases that creep up when we’re interviewing candidates and explain how having a hiring plan in place can help you avoid falling into those traps. I also share a preview of my new hiring course that I’m launching very soon!  IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT: How setting up a structured hiring plan helps you reduce biases that are specific to the interview process Why we should never make assumptions about someone based on their age  Surprising ways that the education and experience biases might show up during an interview  What the ‘halo’ and ‘horns’ effects are  Learning how to look out for green flags instead of going into an interview with a skeptical mindset  Exciting news about my upcoming hiring course
