Zielgruppe: Fachkräfte in Auswahlkommissionen:
Objective Recruitment vs. Unconscious Bias – “Mission impossible”?
Bin ich wirklich objektiv?
Statistisch gesehen entscheiden sich 75% aller Bewerbungsgespräche bereits in den ersten 5 Minuten. Warum ist das so? Wie unvoreingenommen stehen wir Bewerbenden tatsächlich gegenüber? Wie sehr lassen wir uns vielleicht vom ersten Eindruck täuschen? Stimmt meine Bauchgefühl wirklich immer?
Wir möchten Ihnen in dieser Schulung Mittel und Wege an die Hand geben sich selbst zu diesen Punkten zu hinterfragen? Die Zielsetzung dieser Schulung ist es, Ihnen das Fachwissen für eine möglichst vorurteilsfreie Personalauswahl im Interviewprozess zu vermitteln. Neben Basisinformationen zu Struktur und Ablauf von Bewerbungsgesprächen werden wir ihnen unter dem Aspekt der Reduzierung von Unconscious Bias Effekten Fragetechniken vermitteln, die es ihnen erleichtern sollen eine möglichst objektive Abschlussbeurteilung der Kandidaten vornehmen zu können.
Target Group: Members of selection committees (bilingual)
Am I really objective?
Statistically, 75% of all job interviews are decided in the first 5 minutes. Why is that? How unbiased are we really towards applicants? How much do we perhaps let ourselves be deceived by first impressions? Is my gut feeling really, always right?
In science, we adhere to good practices to conduct the scientific research. However, good practice should also be applied to other fields of work, such as during recruitment processes.
In this training, we would like to provide you with ways and means to reflect on these points. The objective of this training is to provide you with the guidelines for good practice in job interview, from the moment we welcome the candidate till the decision making. In addition to basic information on the structure and process of job interviews, we will present you examples of the unconscious biases that could arise during the interview process ultimately affecting the hiring decisions. Being informed of methods to conduct job interviews and being aware of unconscious biases, will smooth the process towards the final assessment of the candidates as objectively as possible.
Event in German, the documents are also available in English and questions can also be asked in English.
