?? How much is hidden bias holding your hiring back? Reducing bias in hiring isn’t just about fairness — it’s about smarter decisions, better talent, and stronger teams. When you rely on gut feelings from unstructured interviews and rushed notes from memory, you create a prime atmosphere for bias to creep in. BrightHire helps teams make confident, less biased decisions with: ? Structured interviews and skills-based questions that ensure every candidate is evaluated objectively. ? Automatic transcripts, summaries, and debriefing tools that provide an accurate, unbiased record of every interview. But don't just take it from us — check out our testimonials link in the comments, which includes this great quote from Gaurav Vohra, Head of Product and Growth at Superhuman. Our mission is to give everyone the hiring experience they deserve, and reducing bias is a huge part of that. ?? How does your team reduce bias in hiring? Share in the comments!

Skills-based hiring could be the future—but getting there is no small feat. In a recent webinar, Amy Dearking broke down three critical barriers holding organizations back from fully embracing skills over traditional credentials like education and experience: 1?? Mindset Shift: Many hiring managers are still rooted in a traditional hiring mindset. Shifting these deeply ingrained habits requires thoughtful change management. 2?? Identifying Skills: Without the right tools or expertise, most companies struggle to confidently pinpoint the critical skills that drive success. 3?? Tech Limitations: Today’s HR tools are built on outdated job architecture models, making it hard to track and manage a truly skills-based workforce. At BrightHire, we’re helping bridge the gap by empowering hiring teams with tools that make skills-based hiring not just possible—but practical. From AI-powered insights to structured interview guidance, we make it easier to uncover the skills that matter most, enabling more informed, confident hiring decisions.

The world is changing faster than ever, requiring new tools for TA leaders. ?? At Shine 2024, Tia Silas, CPO of Shopify, and Amy Reichanadter, CPO of Databricks, two incredible leaders of disruptive companies, shared how they use first-principles thinking to lead effectively in a fast-changing, uncertain world. Some of the??nuggets: ?? Creativity is key: True innovation comes from applying first-principles thinking and frameworks to solve problems. When you approach challenges creatively — breaking away from linear solutions or past precedents — you open the door to transformative ideas. This is why hiring for creativity and an openness to change has never been more crucial. ?? Disruption leads to breakthroughs: Amy highlights how Covid acted as a forcing function for HR to accelerate change — there was simply no other option, and HR leaders had to band together. This is very much like what AI is doing now. It’s coming fast, which creates uncertainty, but it can also be an incredible spark to drive innovation, particularly as leaders across the industry share best practices to learn together quickly. ?? Constraints are a forcing function: Tia discusses how pushing certain boundaries can also lead to significant innovation. She also notes the value of challenging how quickly you can move to solve a problem. By redefining preconceptions about what’s possible, organizations are forced to find game-changing solutions. We highly recommend checking out the full talk in the comments ??

What’s the secret to building a world-class talent team? ??
