Unbiased Interview Questions Process: A Quick Guide

unbiased interview questions

The purpose of a job interview is to assess an applicant’s ability to perform the job.

What are Unbiased Interview Questions?

Unbiased interview questions are questions that do not highlight or include factors relating to protected characteristics such as race, age, gender, sexuality, or other characteristics that might trigger a biased hiring decision. It is important that you use unbiased interview questions because they allow you to pick the best candidate for the job, as opposed to a candidate similar to you or a “culture fit.”

Yet, many companies ask inappropriate questions, questions irrelevant to the job, or approach valid topics in unacceptable or even illegal ways.

In this unbiased interview questions guidelines resource, we explore common topics that employers may be inclined to ask about and identify ways you can ensure the questions you ask are both legal and part of an unbiased interview process.
