Answer: Positive halo effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The halo effect is a "cognition mistake" that, in the case of employers selection processes, occurs when the employer, faced with a remarkable characteristic of the employee or potential employee, generalizes other aspects of the work that person develops.

This can be disadvantageous for the employer since, given the blindness caused by the halo effect, they may not perform all their duties with the necessary efficiency and the work chain would be affected, as well as customer loyalty as they would not be perceiving the desired work quality they demand.

To avoid this, it would be wise to ask appropriate questions during interviews, not be biased about looks, don't matter of professional one individual may look, and always maintain an objective attitude towards people.
