Unconscious Bias, what is it and how can it impact our businesses?

A fantastic article by Laurie Boyall, MD of McGregor Boyall addresses the important issue of unconscious bias and the recruitment process.
Any company or recruiter who is hiring at any level will tell you that matching the best quality skills and talent to the vacancy is the most important thing to ensure the job role is completely fulfilled.

A survey by Pannone revealed that 79% of HR Professionals reported that unconscious bias was still a problem. Perhaps the problem is that not enough people are aware of what unconscious bias is and how this can create a lack of diversity and worst of all cause recruiters to miss out on the top talent for their business.
