This is prejudice, nothing more. In the literal sense of the word "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". You simply can't say what people are like in advance.
EDIT: a more appropriate definition: preconceived judgment or opinion.
- NoOneNew 6y agoWhat part of I've hired both kinds of people didnt you get? That's considered actual experience. Edit: Not preconceived either. This developed after almost 7 years of hiring people directly for me. People I had to then work with everyday. I dont have a hiring manager.

- lazide 6y agoThat would apply if you were thinking of rehiring those same people, but not if you were to hire someone new you had no exposure to right? Otherwise, it is pretty much the textbook definition?
