Hidden bias in online job ads?

Views 0 Views    Comments 0 Comments    Share Share    Posted 14-05-2009  
These days, recruiters don’t think twice about posting open jobs online. But does relying on online ads give the hiring process a hidden bias against minorities?

Yes, if applications are only accepted online, according to a recent study by the JobApp network, a recruitment outsourcing firm.

JobApp’s model allows candidates to apply online or over the phone. To study the effects on different groups, the company looked at the demographics of job seekers who applied online versus those who used the phone.
