At the company I work for, we are forbidden to ask questions based on resume, as it introduces biases. Reduction of bias means "ask same questions of every candidate".
He proudly said they don’t ask questions based on resume, because they don’t care where you worked or where you went to school…as long as you know your stuff. In fact he only looks at the resume after the interview.
I wonder how long they will stick to this stubbornness.
So why not just have a lottery instead of a hiring process?
/s But only slightly.
* they don't trust their interviewers to be professional and objective, or
* they're trying to have a EEOC CYA paper trail that says they make efforts to be unbiased, or
* DEI motivated (e.g., not everyone has the advantage of good past experience as a starting point for conversations), or
* some other HR theory?
