Managing growth in workforce diversity and increasing the representation of women and
minorities is a critical HRM strategy of recruitment and selection for most organizations (Thomas and Ely 1996). Human resource managers usually tend to bring people into the organization and promote employees who fit or have values similar to the decision makers or gatekeepers. Therefore, recruitment and selection should avoid what Schneider (1987) called ‘the A-S-A (attraction-selection-attrition) cycle’ in order to develop multiple cultures in the organization. Human resource professionals and line managers who recruit and interview job seekers in a multicultural workforce need to be aware of the ways in which the interviewers’ beliefs, attitudes, and stereotypes influence interview behaviour.
