Halo effect

What is the halo effect?

Main HR glossary Halo effect

The halo effect is a cognitive bias where a person’s impression based on one trait or characteristic influences the perception of their other qualities, even if they are unrelated.

For example, if a job candidate makes a great first impression during an interview, the recruiter might mistakenly assume they excel in all areas, including those that were not assessed.

This bias can significantly impact objectivity when evaluating candidates, employees, or colleagues. It’s important to recognize the halo effect in hiring, performance reviews, and promotions to ensure fair decision-making.

How to reduce the halo effect:

  • Use clear, measurable criteria for evaluating candidates and employees.
  • Involve multiple assessors in the hiring and evaluation process to minimize personal biases.
