How to prevent Gender Bias while hiring. Rajesh Bhat with Deepu Nair from LinkedIn

Sharing some fantastic insights on hiring from Rajesh Bhat, Founder of Iron Lady . We picked his brain to discuss gender bias in the hiring process through a diversity and inclusion lens.
I absolutely loved his answer and perspective!!!
1] Leaders should understand the real strengths of people while hiring, instead of simply avoiding the pitfall of mere diversity hiring.
2] Merit should always take the lead, establishing a strong foundation for talented and diverse teams.
3] His advice for women job-seekers was equally valuable - he highlighted the importance of confidently showcasing their skills and strengths, rather than adopting a defensive stance. By demonstrating their true potential, women can break through biases and misconceptions.
Remember, it's not only about being part of a diversity initiative; it's about recognizing one's worth , showcasing it and enabling people by creating an environment to give their best at work.
