8 years ago Thanks Brian, we haven't found the right answer to this yet. I think rubrics are a possible answer, but it's not clear that they necessarily reduce bias (though they may be an effective way to measure it).
Maybe listing judging criteria for a position before any interviews would help, but as a first-time founder I've been learning a lot about the jobs I'm hiring for from the candidates we interview, so I'm not sure I could even do a good job of that 😁
To combat pattern-matching and other biases, a framework for how candidates are judged is crucial.
I know this sounds super corporate and stiff, but each candidate should be judged against a standard. If that standard isn't codified, it's prone to manipulation by bias.
The content here isn't that good, and most of it wouldn't fit for Clef, but I think it could be adapted to work really well:
