Ihre Beiträge, auch wenn sie bedeutend waren, waren den Entscheidungsträgern möglicherweise nicht ausreichend sichtbar, oder Ihnen fehlt ein starker Fürsprecher im Führungsteam.

Unbekannte Soft Skills oder kulturelle Passung

50%

Voreingenommenheit im Auswahlverfahren

40%

Unbewusste oder bewusste Vorurteile (z. B. Sympathievorurteile, Geschlechtervorurteile, Altersvorurteile) könnten die Entscheidung beeinflusst haben, was zur Auswahl eines Kandidaten führte, der objektiv nicht der am besten qualifizierte ist.
