In this podcast excerpt, Speaker A highlights how unconscious bias influences hiring from the very start of the recruitment process, including the role of recruitment agencies. The speaker explains that their agency deliberately seeks out qualified candidates from underrepresented groups who might be overlooked by other firms, aiming to broaden the client’s view of the talent market. Crucially, they stress that they never present candidates who lack the ability to perform the job, balancing diversity goals with competence.

Unconscious bias plays a part in the interview process. Even before you get to the interview process, the recruitment agency you're working with, there is an unconscious bias from that point. So our thing is we make it a point to make sure we find you underrepresented candidates that can do the job who maybe might not have been put in front of you by other agencies. It's like we're just going to open your eyes to some of the market that maybe you wouldn't have seen. But what we don't do is put people in front of clients that can't do the job.
