Selectors criteria of judgement- and decision-making often remain implicit and focus on prior achievements and 'fit' with the current trainee-pool, possibly compromising the workforce's diversity. Implicit 'proxies' and intuitive decision-making may be an unwitting source of judgemental bias. 'Making the implicit explicit', by increasing awareness of personal values and beliefs and structuring the selection interview, may improve the quality of trainee selection.
