Emotions play a crucial role in recruitment. They influence whether a talent applies for a job, responds to your contact and accepts your offer. Many recruiters base their approach on emotions, not facts. That's why they're so important. To make an unbiased decision, you have to learn to understand them, analyze them and make the right decision.

6 basic emotions have been defined:
Each of these simple emotions has its own tonality.
Emotions can combine to create different feelings.
Feelings are reactions based on our subconscious, and we all respond to them in different ways due to personal experiences, culture and personal beliefs.
Plutchik's wheel is made up of several wheels, like a chromatic circle, on which all the emotions he has defined are inscribed.
The closer the emotion is to the center of the circle, the greater the intensity.
For example, apprehension is a mild form of terror.

To write the perfect job description, the use of gendered words can have a significant impact on the recruitment process, as the talent you consider may not feel concerned for this reason alone.
Recent studies have found that women are far less likely to apply for job descriptions that contain masculine-sounding words like "active", "confident" and "motivated".
Conversely, words with feminine connotations such as "honest", "understanding" and "support" on male candidates didn't stop them from applying.
Another way to minimize the influence of bias on your candidate sourcing process is to let data guide your decision-making.
Recruiters can use the data to rank candidates on the basis of filters dedicated to skills, functions, diversity, career prospects and many other characteristics predetermined by the employer.
Eliminating unconscious bias without the help of the latest recruitment technologies is complicated, but if you're looking for a more human approach, considering introducing group interviews into your recruitment process can be a game-changer.
Setting up a panel includes a diverse set of collaborators (seniority, position, etc.) and helps mitigate any unconscious biases and prejudices and will help you consider a candidate from a broader perspective and make a more informed decision.
It's no longer just one or two recruiters who make the decision, but a group of collaborators.
Emotions are crucial factors in recruitment and influence your ability to source the ideal candidate for a position.
Emotions are essential to take into account when you're faced with a situation where you have to make a decision about whether or not to recruit a talent.
These tips will help you mitigate emotion-based decision making, because it's the worst mistake a recruiter can make.
