Prejudice in Resume Selection Is a Major Barrier for Thousands of Professionals Around the World. Modern Companies Prefer Blind Resume Selection.

Prejudice in Resume Selection Can Discard Excellent Professionals. Focusing First on Ethnicity, Gender, Social Class, and Other Personal Characteristics Is an Old and Toxic Practice That Hinders the Development of the Country and Excludes First-Rate Professionals. The Early Stages of the Selection Process Should Not Prioritize Data Considered Basic (Gender, Name, Address, Age, etc.). Avoiding Selection Based on This Information Prevents the Company from Making Incorrect Choices Regarding Candidates.

Big Dream

It Seems Like a Big Dream, but Being Chosen for Your Competence and Experience, Instead of Being Recommended by Manager “So-and-So,” Is Starting to Gain Traction in More Modern Companies with More Conscious HR. Choosing a Professional Based on Their Performance in Tests and Interviews During a Selection Process, Rather Than Just Their Resume, Can Bring Significant Benefits to the Company That Hires Them, as That Professional Can Demonstrate Part of Their Potential and What They Can Offer to the Company.

In Some Countries, It Is Already Common Not to Include Information Such as Age, Gender, Address, and Marital Status in Resumes. All This Could Influence the Decision to Choose This or That Resume Even Before Contacting the Professional, Discarding Others Who Did Not Even Have a Chance to Participate in the Process. Many Companies Already Adopt This Practice and Only Find Out if the Future Employee Is Male or Female, Young or Old, Single or Married, etc., When They Receive the Results of Their Tests and Interviews with HR.

Fewer Women

Even with This New Way of Selecting Professionals, Despite the Care Some Companies Are Taking to Value Professionals, the Number of Women in Companies Is Still Lower Than That of Men. However, There Is a Glimmer of Hope at the End of the Tunnel for Those Who Can Truly Contribute Positive Values to the Job Market.
