Hirable Like Me
Interviewers favor applicants who remind them of themselves
“Cultural fit” is often a category in the hiring process that characterize how similar or different a candidate is from the interviewers, and is used as a surrogate for how well an individual will be able to work on a team. This is also an area where unconscious bias results in excluding people who, despite being qualified, are different than the norm. The result- lack of diversity and sub utilization of available talent.
