| Abstract | This article outlines hiring procedures adopted by the University of Oklahoma philosophy department to promote diversity and fairness in faculty searches. Strategies aim to minimize bias at all stages, including developing clear criteria before reviewing applications, pacing the process, and anonymizing writing samples. During campus visits, uniformity across events enables equitable assessment. The focus stays on job-relevant elements to avoid bias from informal interactions. Though initially unfamiliar, the formalized procedures increase efficiency and fairness. They aim to combat implicit bias and barriers facing underrepresented groups in order to foster greater diversity.
