Unconscious Bias in Recruitment
13th October 2025
Are your hiring decisions truly objective? Or could hidden biases be shaping your choices without you even realising?
In this engaging in-person session held at our Nottingham office, expert facilitator Laurence Harvey will guide you through the fascinating world of unconscious bias and how it subtly — but significantly — affects recruitment decisions.
Far more than just a webinar, this is an interactive opportunity to explore your own thinking, challenge assumptions, and walk away with practical strategies to improve your hiring process.
In this session, you'll discover:
- How the questions you ask can be unconsciously biased — and how to reframe them
- Why we often “fill in the blanks” about candidates instead of seeking real evidence
- How bias can lead us to assume skills and abilities, rather than verify them
- The subtle ways we may look to confirm our own perceptions instead of seeing the candidate clearly
This session is both a recruitment masterclass and a personal development journey — perfect for hiring managers, recruiters, and anyone involved in talent decisions.
