Affinity Bias: Why We Hire People Like Us

Ever left an interview thinking, "They remind me of me. I like them." That’s affinity bias.

We gravitate towards people who share our background or values, mistaking "like me" for "right for the job."

📊 85% of hiring managers admit to relying on gut feeling, where bias often lives.

🔑 Solutions:

Structured interviews
Diverse hiring panels
Training to recognize bias
Different perspectives build stronger teams.

👩🍼 Bias Against MAAMA Employees

After leaving #Google, I noticed bias towards ex-FAANG (now MAAMA) employees:

1️⃣ "Elitism" Bias: Seen as out of touch or unable to adapt.
2️⃣ "Money" Bias: Assumed to chase only high salaries.

These biases overlook diverse experiences and skills. Many seek growth in smaller teams.

💡 Tip: Don’t dismiss them due to assumptions. They bring valuable experience.

Interviewing Is a Skill – Not a Trait: Why Training Your Interviewers Matters More Than You Think

From Passenger to Pilot Image created with ChatGPT Let me ask you a provoking question to begin with: "Would you let an untrained pilot fly a plane – just because they’ve been a passenger hundreds of times?"

„Unser Einstellungsprozess ist chancenlos gegen Google & Co.“ – stimmt das wirklich? 🤔

Viele Schweizer KMUs glauben, sie könnten nicht mithalten. Doch Top-Talente achten längst nicht nur aufs Gehalt. Unternehmenskultur, Entwicklung & Teamspirit sind entscheidend – da haben kleinere Firmen oft die Nase vorn.

1️⃣ Kultur statt Bürokratie
2️⃣ Flexibilität
3️⃣ Authentischer Austausch

Grosse Namen sind nicht alles! Nutzt Eure Stärken und fordert die Giganten heraus.
