Dat Nguyen and Ngan Vo's October submission for 2018-19 Young Glory.

1. The fact:
Some reports prove that it takes us a
blink of an eye to prejudice someone
when we first see them and before
we get to know them.
Unconscious bias penetrate various
realms of our society. Even hiring
decisions, of course.
We've got an idea to lessen
employers’ bias towards candidates…
THE BLIND
INTERVIEW
Instead of a normal interview, let’s
make it a blind one. Employers and
candidates are walked into a dark room
where they can't see each other’s face.
The interview happens in darkness to
insure the employers can't
unconsciously stereotype the
candidates by their first look.
Though this can't totally remove the
bias, we do believe it can make
employers and hiring managers come
to terms with their own bias in the
workplace and start to take action.
