Unconscious bias plays a significant role in most of our hiring decisions, despite how much we may not want to acknowledge this. Prejudice, whether conscious or unconscious, can undermine an organization's efforts to promote diversity. LinkedIn survey states that 82% of hiring managers agree unconscious bias influences their recruiting choices.

Organizations have historically failed to remove these biases, even when they plan to hire more diverse individuals. Although technology has revolutionized the way we screen candidates and conduct interviews, there is still a significant barrier as inherent unconscious bias. 

In this panel discussion, the speakers are going to discuss :

• Unconscious bias and how does it manifest in the hiring process.
• Potential consequences of bias, both for individuals and organizations.
• Strategies or techniques that can be used to mitigate bias. 
• Leveraging technology to reduce unconscious bias in hiring.
• Ensuring that diversity and inclusion efforts go beyond hiring and are integrated into the overall company culture.
