Ken Coleman from a16z talks about 3 ways to transform the way hiring can incorporate meritocracy and be inclusive. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/10/26/ken-coleman-african-american-tech-pioneer-talks-about-diversity/17747925/

1. Make sure that the recruiting team is diverse. 2. Remove inherent biases in the interview process. 3. Implement a robust campus recruiting program that attracts young minds from all backgrounds

With regards to 2. what are some tools and process that can be used to avoid biases in hiring?

I'd like to know how you go about solving for it, if you have examples to share.

Many thanks.
