1. Standardize the hiring process: Developing a list of structured interview questions and the criteria for evaluating each candidate is recommended.

2. Diversify your recruitment sources: Increase the target area to target broader talents from the qualified layer of society. This can be of assistance in reducing the effects of self-organized prejudice in the pool of candidates.
