Structured Interviews and Objective Criteria
Learn how structured interviews and objective criteria can minimize bias in candidate assessment and protect fairness in hiring.
Structured interviews use standardized questions and scoring to compare candidates fairly. This approach reduces subjective judgments that reflect bias rather than capability.
Implement a fixed set of job-related questions, consistent evaluation rubrics, and trained interviewers who ask the same questions to all applicants. Record scores to support transparency and accountability.
Objective criteria include demonstrable skills, measurable outcomes, and alignment with job requirements. Avoid questions about age, race, gender, or personal life unless it directly relates to the role.
