This audio summary report from Peggy McKee on recent research is deadly serious but it's also both amusing and scary. In hiring, do you judge books by their covers, or heel length, or facial hair? Assuming this research is accurate, there seems to be, in the U.S. at least, a hardcore fifth of employers with some dyed-in-the-wool, old school mental models that may be filtering out talent from their subjective hiring process. Why reject a guy just because his skirt is out of date? That stuff is fixable if they're good enough. Are they so spoiled for choice?
Given I'm blogging at 6AM, I wouldn't want to be judged on what I'm wearing right now!!
