How to improve diversity by mitigating unconscious bias in the recruiting process?

Tech employers hold the responsibility — and the ability — to improve diversity by mitigating unconscious bias in the recruiting process. It’s the right thing to do, and it’s also what job seekers want. In fact, 70% of job seekers consider the commitment to diversity when evaluating a potential employer.

When unconscious bias spreads across a candidate pool, there is a big risk of a lack of organizational diversity; biases can also shape a company's culture if left unchecked.

Understanding how unconscious bias affects your company can help you outline the steps that you need to take to improve your hiring processes to uncover more diverse talent and ensure you’re hiring the best and the brightest.

In this webinar, we discussed:
- What is unconscious bias?
- How it can influence workplace decisions
- Mitigating bias throughout the technical hiring funnel
