If jobs were screened entirely by competency and personality/fit, with interviews/resumes somehow conveying those aspects of a candidate without any other identifying information revealed about the applicants (no school, age, sex, name, ethnicity, etc), how different would the end result of hiring be? That would make for an interesting study in a variety of industries and fields, if one hasn't been done already.
- johny115 9y agoThat's what were trying to achieve at Vervoe. Our hiring software is designed to assess candidates primarily via task-based simulations created by experts - that means interview questions that help the Employer assess your skill and judge the candidates based on their answers mostly. When I myself was hired by Vervoe, I didn't submit any resume, because as our CEO says, resumes are documents about past and don't necessarily show how the candidate will perform now and in future. I only submitted the skill assessing questions. My school (I have none), age, sex, ethnicity, location didn't matter. I am glad that articles and comments like this exist, shows we're not alone on our mission to show that diversity works better :).
