Are you familiar with the psychological research about bias in decisionmaking?[0] It sounds like you have come to the same conclusion psychologists are coming to. Under stress, the human mind uses mental shortcuts, or heuristics, while making important decisions, and act irrationally. I don't often come across a post that takes on these biases so systematically, and translates them into one of the most important decisions a startup has to make, i.e. the hiring decision, and you even invent useful ways to mitigate their effects. Kudos for that! Every company should be doing this. Overcoming bias should be a top priority at all HR departments. ------- [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristics_in_judgment_and_decision-making http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristics_in_judgment_and_deci...
