Recruiter training: Unconscious gender bias

Most recruiters’ hiring decisions are affected by their unconscious gender biases. Due to these biases, recruiters often unknowingly assume women lack the ability (e.g., women cannot lift parcels), feasibility (e.g., women cannot travel to work), and willingness (e.g., married women do not want to work) to work in non-traditional roles. These unconscious gender biases negatively impact men (e.g., higher burden of overtime/ night shifts), women (e.g., lower motivation), and the overall business (e.g., limits the hiring pool). This training can help recruiters recognise and address them.
