What are some case studies on interview bias?

There are several notable case studies on interview bias. One example is the research conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which found that resumes with traditionally 'white-sounding' names received 50% more callbacks than those with 'black-sounding' names.

Can you tell me more about the methodology used in that study?

Sure! The study used a field experiment where researchers sent out thousands of resumes in response to job postings, varying only the names to assess the impact of perceived race on hiring decisions.

What were the key findings of that research?

The key findings indicated significant racial bias in hiring, with candidates perceived as white being favored over equally qualified candidates perceived as black.

Are there other types of biases that were identified in interviews?

Yes, other biases include gender bias, age bias, and confirmation bias, all of which can affect hiring decisions and candidate evaluations.
