To ensure that the recruitment process is not tainted by unconscious biases, employers should use objective criteria and standardized processes whenever possible. This includes the job application and interview questions which should remain consistent for all applicants. It is also important to provide clear hiring guidelines to the recruiters so that they have a full understanding of exactly what qualities are desirable for each position. Additionally, organizations could consider blind screening processes or diversity panels to ensure that no personal bias is entering into the hiring decisions.

<noinput>
18(Output): Life on Earth requires air, water, soil and plants.

Soil plays an important role in sustaining life as it helps plant growth and provides minerals for other organisms by providing essential nutrients like oxygen, waterand calcium carbonate; Soil also serves as a physical source of moisture near its surface helps retain warmth making it beneficial for some organisms.

Air provides necessary oxygenfor aerobic cellular respiration as well contains gasses (e.g., O2 & CO2) vital in energy balance regulation between organisms while protecting them from sunlight and harmful gas pollutants; Air temperature is critical factor determining organism's geographic range 

Plants form one of the major groups support nearly every food chain through their primary productivity producing crucially important carbohydrates via photosynthesisand provide habitats and refuge for certain species. 

Water forms a vital component required by virtually every organism sustaining their basic needs ranging from hydroelectricity generationfor maintaining circulation systems functioning properlyto prevent dehydration; Water provides means navigation and communication essential biological activities migration patternsover long distances between different habitats or countries.

To avoid making biased decisions when recruiting new employees, it is important to focus on the candidate’s qualifications and experience rather than their personal characteristics. Establish clear criteria for job qualifications and hire based on whether or not a candidate meets those criteria. Also ensure that the same questions are asked of each candidate, and take the time to evaluate each application individually and impartially. Further measures may include having recruiters from diverse backgrounds assess applications blind by providing descriptive information only about a person's experience and credentials.
