If a new employee doesn’t work out, it also can adversely affect employee morale, productivity and customer retention. Applicant screening and job interviews play an integral role in the selection process and [overall interview process,](https://blog.axcethr.com/interview-process) which is only as effective as the people managing it.

Sometimes we recognize them, and other times they live in our subconscious minds. These conscious and “unconscious” biases are unproven assumptions we make about individuals with particular characteristics that we perceive as less-than-desirable. Managers who lack training on and awareness of their inherent biases may inadvertently overlook the right candidate for a job, because these stereotypes help inform their opinions and sometimes cloud their judgment.

Managers should consider the position they are hiring for and determine what knowledge, skills and abilities are needed for that position.  This can help managers to avoid screening out candidates based are factors that are not relevant to the job they are applying for.  [RELATED: Hiring at the Top of Your Salary Range?
