Preferred term

unbiased hiring systems  

Definition

  • Employment practices are biased or unfair when employment decisions (e.g., hiring, promotion, job transfer) are based on factors (e.g., race, gender, age, disability, religion, and physical attractiveness) that are unrelated to a person's ability to succeed on the job. Biased employment practices are a very important issue, because selection systems control access to jobs and such other valued outcomes as opportunities for advancement and training.
