HiringBranch proves that gender and native language don't matter

Fair and unbiased assessments are of utmost importance to us. We adhere to a zero-discrimination policy when assessing candidates. Our goal is to discover what a candidate can do, regardless of who they are. That means gender, race, sexual orientation, age, location and native language data are not collected.

In collaboration with an undisclosed customer, we set out to prove that biases don't belong in the workplace. Using sample population data provided by the customer, we cross referenced gender and native tongue data with hired HiringBranch candidates' four-in-one assessment scores.

Results

We are delighted (but not surprised) to see that there is no significant difference in the assessment of scores of native versus non-native speakers of English or in male versus female candidates. We don't stop there, but continue to check for bias in our assessments on an ongoing basis.
