A little closer to home, Canadian researchers found that applicants with Chinese, Indian, or Pakistani-sounding names were 28% less likely to get invited to an interview than those with an English-sounding one.
We tend to hire people who remind us of ourselves.
As well as making for an unfair recruitment process, this approach poses a longer-term risk to companies. If we hire in our own image, we end up with no diversity. That’s important, because there’s extensive research that suggests diverse companies are more innovative, achieve above-average financial returns, and have ...
We want to hire people we will enjoy working with, so it’s important you have a good feeling about a candidate. But make sure you’re not unfairly disadvantaging candidates who could be great for the job just because they haven’t followed the same cultural, educational, or professional journeys as yours.
Interviews are already nerve-racking affairs. Now imagine the interviewer typing on their laptop, checking their phone, or generally giving off a distracted vibe.
Researchers have found that one way to make the recruitment process as fair and unbiased as possible is to use structured interviews. That means applying some consistency to the questions you’re putting to candidates and the order in which you’re asking them.
Of course, you don’t want your interview panel to feel like they’re on autopilot. Instead, pull together a repository of questions they can draw on, and suggest they use the same ones when interviewing different people for a particular role. Not only will this give each candidate an equal opportunity to shine, but it w...
You’ve just wrapped up a great interview with a candidate who has everything you’re looking for. You’re sure your colleague who carried out the second interview is thinking exactly the same thing, and you’re desperate to talk to them about it.
This reflex makes sense. After all, as the saying goes, two minds are better than one, and research suggests there’s wisdom in crowds. But if you discuss your thoughts before someone else has had the time to process their own, the hive mind quickly becomes groupthink, and your biases (positive or negative) risk influen...

IE7 has potential, but there's a lot to fix before it's ready for prime time.
June 27, 2018, 3:01 a.m.
A friendly welcome and admonition.
Yes, Microsoft developers have a sense of humor too (note the "even lawyers" comment). Spelling out the proper name of this build is a mouthfull, especially when it's in large type.
Launching IE7 for the first time brings up this page asking you to please enable the Phishing Filter, set your language and country, and join the Customer Experience Improvement Program. While its not open source, your voice might still be heard.
Once your install and reboot are complete you'll find yourself at Microsoft.com, where you can seek out answers to any lingering questions.
Home pages appeared normal. In addition to the PC Magazine home page you will note on the bottom row of the navigation bar several tabs representing pages loaded in the background.
While it can be confusing at first for those long-wedded to IE6, IE7's default navigation bars and icons have a cleaner less cluttered feel about them. Clicking on the Tools menu will bring up the menu choices many of us are so acquainted with. Note that you can also use the customize choice at the bottom of the left m...
Once you've clicked on Subscribe from the dialog box, a page opens displaying the latest entries from your new feed. We haven't yet established the full purpose for having the choice to yet again subscribe to the feed, though clicking on it will bring the dialog box up again and the option of cancelling the fee.
Clicking on the feed icon while on a Web page offering a feed brings up this dialog box. Clicking Subscribe adds the feed. Note that you have the option of creating separate folders for your feeds as well.
You get a success message with IE7 once you've subscribed to a feed from the navigation toolbar icon; an easy two-click process. Oh, and don't worry, we're sure that poor halved "n" is on the list of things to fix.
Clicking on the brown icon with a star in it (far left third row) brings up the IE7 Favorites Center. This consists of your Web page favorites on the left, the RSS feeds you've subscribed to, and your URL history on the right. You'll also note that IE7 thoughtfully retained our Google Toolbar 4 (beta). Thanks IE7.
These aren't the same old IE error messages we've all grown accustomed to. These are kinder, gentler error messages, completely rewritten by the folks at Microsoft.
We found a few glitches in the way IE7 beta renders pages. Here we see an example of text coding that was not rendered correctly in this box from our own discussion board.
Tabbed browsing, Tab Groups, and Quick Tabs, similar to what you'll find in Firefox, Opera, and Safari, are a new and welcome feature.
Here we've isolated the default configuration of the IE7 beta navigation bar. Note the new look of many of the control icons.
We found errors in how IE7 rendered some things, which is to be expected based on its beta status. The square symbols at the end of text lines appeared in some Hotmail emails we received and read in IE7 beta.
A VILLAGE football club, which was forced to fold this season because of a shortage of players, plans to reform its senior side and is on the look-out for a new manager.
A VILLAGE football club which was forced to fold this season because of a shortage of players, plans to reform its senior side and is on the look-out for a new manager.
Llanllyfni CPD pulled out of the Welsh Alliance League this year following a what had been meteoric rise through the lower divisions of Welsh football.
In just three glorious years Llanllyfni, following its formation in 2005, won the Caernarfon and District League in its debut season and the Safeflue Cup for good measure.
In 2007/8 it won the Gwynedd League by seven points and performed well amongst the big boys in the Welsh Alliance last year before having to call it a day at the start of the 2009/10 season.
During their last campaign, star player Chris Parry signed for Welsh Premier club Porthmadog.
Llanllyfni now plan to start all over again in the Caernarfon and District League for the 2010/11 season after the club’s players and committee opted to bring senior football back to the village.
Anyone interested in applying for the manager’s post should contact Michael Roberts on (01286) 880129.
The closing date for applications will be December 31.
Is Arizona shifting to the political center?
Does Sinema's election send a larger message?
Is Arizona becoming less Republican and more Democrat or is this latest election just a temporary shift in Arizona's political personality?
So what do Kyrsten Sinema's win Senate and victories for other Arizona Democrats say about our state?
In her victory speech, Senator-Elect Kyrsten Sinema urged Arizonans to step away from combative us versus them politics and pull together for the good of the state.
She told supporters: “We can work with people who are different than us. We can be friends with people who are different than us. We can love and care about people who are different than us. We can keep people who are different than us safe. We can be good people who care about each other even when we disagree."
The Democratic Party may be strong in Pima County but Arizona has been reliably Republican on a statewide level.
Associate Professor Christopher Weber of University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy says Arizona may be moving to the center in a world of hard right and hard left politics.
"But at the same time, we've had two senators who have have often challenged authority within their parties. And so it's hard to say whether this is, you know, a moment of change in that the parties or the state is, you know, moving in a different direction, or whether it's sort of speaks to Arizona's independence."
And he says some of the power seems to be swinging away from rural voters to voters in cities and suburbs.
Weber says, “What we saw on election night, you know, a week ago was suburban females largely moved to the Democratic side and so there seems to be a nationwide a division growing between suburban and urban voters relative to rural voters."
And Weber says trends show up more quickly in races for the House than the Senate because elections for the House are every two years while Senators go six years before they run again.
Marks & Spencer has made a large effort to reduce their carbon footprint. Their Plan A project has seen many incremental steps move the chain towards a more sustainable model.
Unfortunately though, their packaging seems to be rather hard to recycle. A new report has shown that less of their packaging can be recycled than any other large supermarket chain.
The Local Government Association report claims that only 60% of Marks and Spencer's can be recycled. Bizarrely, the low-cost chain, Asda, beats this by a clear 10%, and market traders improve on this even further, with 79% recyclable packaging.
Unfortunately for us, the cost of disposing of all this waste falls on councils, funding by taxpayer's money.
"Councils and council taxpayers are facing fines of up to £3bn if we do not dramatically reduce the amount of waste thrown into landfill," says Paul Bettison, chairman of the LGA's environment board.
"People are working hard to increase their recycling rates, but their efforts are being hamstrung by needlessly over-packaged products on sale in supermarkets."
The research was done by purchasing 29 common items from a range of shops; Asda, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco, as well as a high-street store and a market. The packaging was then analysed, to reveal that 5% of the weight of the average shop is down to the packaging alone.
"We've set ourselves clear and demanding targets ... to reduce our use of non-glass packaging by 25% and only use materials that can be easily recycled or composted. While we've made good progress over the last 12 months, we know there's still much more yet to do in both areas," says Mike Barry, head of corporate socia...
"Almost 70% of our packaging is recyclable across the majority of local authorities. A further 20% could also be recycled if there was a more consistent approach to recycling across the UK. We're working with local authorities to help address this."
Sentinel columnist Beth Kassab talked with Alex Morgan about her new book and movie as well as her views on gender inequities in pay.
Alex Morgan talks about making Central Florida her home.
Alex Morgan is a powerhouse on the pitch.
She's put the ball into the back of the net six times since January for the U.S. Women's National Team.
One of those goals, as Sports Illustrated noted, was the fastest in U.S. soccer history. She scored on Costa Rica earlier this month just 12 seconds after kickoff.
Morgan, who is set to start training next month for the Orlando Pride, is also half of Central Florida's newest and most internationally known power couple. Her husband, Servando Carrasco, is a midfielder for Orlando City.
PICTURE GALLERY: Check out pictures of U.S. soccer star Alex Morgan of the Orlando Pride through the years.
But Morgan isn't just about stats. She is channeling all of that power — on and off the field — into feeding the minds of girls hungry for someone to look up to.
Soccer is one of the most popular youth sports in the country.
"But there wasn't really anything out there for young girls to watch or to read or to follow other than the women's national team," said Morgan, 26.
So when an author she knows approached her a few years ago with the idea to create her own series, she said it was a "no brainer."
The result was "The Kicks," now a series of six books Morgan created that are centered on fictional 12-year-old Devin Burke, who had to move cross-country with her family only to find that her new school's soccer team was lousy.
The book revolves around themes like leadership, friendship and perseverance.
Last year Amazon Prime picked up "The Kicks" as one of its original series.
"That was huge for us," Morgan said, noting that the show has started shooting, but there's not yet a debut date.
In the first few minutes of the pilot, the star character sets the tone by thinking out loud, "I am not a princess. I am a soccer beast."
Morgan brings that same outlook now that she's in Orlando, land of cartoon princesses.
She speaks out about gender inequity in sports and business, noting the pay gap between men and women professional athletes.
The U.S. men's team, which finished 11th in the World Cup, won $9 million. But the U.S. women's team, which took the title last year, won just $2 million.
She talks about how the U.S. has made strides in embracing women's soccer ever since Brandi Chastain famously fell to her knees in her sports bra after the 1999 World Cup victory.
But, she says, there needs to be a "cultural shift" in many other parts of the world.
She even tweeted an atta-girl to her 2.2 million followers last week after Taylor Swift's Grammy speech.
"Preach @taylorswift13! It's so great to see strong women using their platform to support and inspire girls and women. #powerfulwords"
Morgan says she's thrilled to cheer on other successful young women. But there's a long way to go.
"I think in the last couple of years it's been so great to have this community of female athletes and successful women in positions of power who have worked hard to get there," she told me. "It should be recognized and appreciated and we need more women to step up and be in those positions all around the world."
Leadership, it turns out, is taking on new meaning in her own life.
Now that Abby Wambach and other longtime players have retired from the U.S. women's team, Morgan is stepping into a larger role.
"There's been a major shift," she says. "I've been on the team now for six years. I've had the time to learn under Abby ... That's something the book touches on. Everyone leads in their own way. It doesn't always have to be the person giving the pep talk at the beginning of the game. There's so many ways to lead."
And we can expect to see more of that from Morgan on and off the field as she looks toward her first season with the Pride, which begins in April, and an Olympic run this summer.
US Soccer stars Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco celebrate at their wedding reception at Rancho Dos Pueblos on December 31, 2014 in Santa Barbara, California. Morgan's reception dress "Little White Dress," pictured, was custom designed with her input by Amsale.
She and her husband, who were married on New Years Eve in 2014 and recently moved into a lakefront home in Winter Park, are living in the same city for the first time in years.
Morgan, who last year played for the Portland Thorns, said she got to know Winter Park while staying at The Alfond Inn during visits.
"The downtown area reminds me of so many other places I've been to," she said. "The independent coffee shops and restaurants. ... I love that scene."
She and her husband, who are both from California, love the water and just bought kayaks and a jet ski for their new place.
Looking past the Olympics when her schedule settles down somewhat, Morgan said she wants to create some opportunities to mentor local girls — possibly through her own soccer camp.
"This will be our home," she told me.

This installment of our round-up of recent parenting books includes more on achieving work/life balance, a treatment program for autism and a collection of essays about being a good mother. These titles were chosen from books we’ve recently received from publishers and cover a range of pressing parenting issues.
“Food Allergies: A Recipe for Success at School.” I don’t remember knowing anyone with a food allergy when I was a child (a long time ago, admittedly). But these days, you’re hard-pressed to find a classroom, soccer team or scout group that doesn’t have at least one child with nut, dairy or egg allergies.
It’s serious stuff. Exposure to the offending food can be life-threatening for these kids, and it can be scary to send your child off to school armed with an EpiPen, hoping that she doesn’t have any dangerous food encounters during the day.
Jan Hanson’s book reviews common food allergies, including possible treatments and the most recent research. She gives parents a three-step plan for managing food allergies at school and goes over the laws that protect students with food allergies. She also suggests strategies for helping your child if she feels isolat...
