fair hiring
Merit-based employment decisions
Fair hiring refers to employment practices designed to evaluate candidates based on qualifications, skills, and job-relevant criteria rather than personal characteristics like race, gender, age, or disability.
The term encompasses both legal compliance with anti-discrimination laws and broader efforts to reduce unconscious bias: The company adopted blind resume reviews as part of its fair hiring initiative.
Fair hiring policies might include structured interviews, diverse hiring panels, or removing names from applications.
