In this video, Steve Urban from the recruiting firm RiderFlex addresses the concerns of job candidates who fear discrimination during the hiring process due to their race, age, gender, or other characteristics. He discusses how avoiding visibility, like not sharing photos on LinkedIn or refusing video interviews, does not prevent discrimination but rather delays the inevitable interaction where biases may emerge. Steve shares personal concerns about being discriminated against as an older white male and argues that it’s better to face potential discrimination early in the process rather than wasting time and effort. He encourages candidates to be upfront and visible to quickly identify if a company’s culture is right for them, thus saving time and avoiding prolonged uncertainty.
