In this webinar guest speakers Tanya Menon, Professor at the Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, and former Associate Professor at Chicago Booth and Joeri Hofmans, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium will be discussing 'Hiring the Best'.
Event Details
In this talk, Tanya Menon and Joeri Hofmans argue that two key principles constrain the diversity of the hiring:
(1) a too narrow pool, and (2) biased filtering of the pool.
Next, we zoom in on hiring for fit, which is a source of hiring bias when done instinctively. After having explained a number of common misconceptions on hiring for fit, we argue how organizations can reap its benefits by engaging in a structured fit assessment.
We look forward to this webinar - join us!
