Judgement, taste, sensibility, intuition - this is what human professionals are for. The value of an experienced worker is in the biases he has accumulated.

  Do you really not understand that when I say "bias," I mean prejudices against people that are irrespective of their qualifications for the job? Of course I want to hire people for their technical and professional judgement. That's the whole point of the interview process: to attempt to measure technical knowledge and its application (ie- judgement). It's hard, but we have to try. But if we google "bias in hiring [1]," all the results are around prejudices that have nothing to do with their performance on the job. In this context, bias means discrimination against certain genders, races, religious beliefs, cultural backgrounds and so on. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: perhaps you are unfamiliar with the generally understood definition of bias when talking about hiring practices. Alternatively, you're selectively and intentionally feigning misunderstanding to advance a position that such prejudice and discrimination is acceptable.
