This discussion forum is designed to help understand cognitive biases that affect employee hiring decisions and improve decision making. Research has shown that heuristics or mental shortcuts in decision making can lead to biases like anchoring, representativeness, framing, confirmation bias, overconfidence bias, hindsight bias, and escalation of commitment in ways that reduce decision accuracy and effectiveness. Participants are asked to discuss the most important bias affecting hiring, provide an example, and comment on a video about dealing with resistance to change.
