Implications
Despite the frequent instances of beauty bias, it is possible to both detect and avoid it.
Removing pictures from CVs would erase the possibility of applicants being judged based on their attractiveness.
Hirers can be trained to identify conscious and subconscious beauty biases during interview processes, and actions can be taken to prevent these biases from impacting recruitment. Therefore, despite the high prevalence of beauty biases, they can certainly be tackled to maintain a level playing field for employees and job applicants.
