Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blind hiring is a practice where the hiring team does not have access to certain information about the applicant, such as their name or educational background, to minimize the impact of unconscious bias in the hiring process. In this case, AMT Industries is not considering résumés, which typically include information about education and prior experience, and instead, they are assessing candidates based on their ability to perform tasks related to the job. This approach reduces the possibility of prejudgments and ensures that candidates are evaluated purely based on their skills and abilities. Therefore, the given scenario is an example of blind hiring.
