Startup Professionals Musings

There’s a post on Founders Notebook today with advice on avoiding unconscious bias in hiring decisions. Information as simple as a person’s name or where they went to school can unconsciously bias hiring decisions and the advice is to redact all information from CVs other than that which pertains to the person’s work.
