It can also lead to legal issues if certain groups are consistently disadvantaged during the hiring process. Therefore, it's crucial to implement strategies to minimize these biases, such as standardized interview questions and unconscious bias training for hiring managers.

That's why CEOs should standardize their hiring to a greater level of detail than they may with other instances of delegation.
