The whole interview format is bullshit rewarding good looks, strong social skills and great talkers. Now of course there are jobs where skill matters less, I am talking about many bullshit jobs or low level jobs. However, even here ability matters to some extent, I propose aptitude testing relevant to the job. Basically, it could be simple like prospective employees have to do a test online simulating difficult aspects of the job, they are measured on how quickly and how accurately they can do it. For jobs with customer service, they are also graded on how they interact with customers such as attitude, smile, what they say, and how they respond to customer complaints. Ultimately, the goal is to pick the best of the prospective candidates, based on the number of slots available. Then, a small bonus is given to those who are unattractive, maybe a slight ranking up, but only a small amount. This prioritizes competence, reduces social aspect of job such as manager and coworker opinions based on lookism. This would give a huge improvement to autistics, disabled, ugly and those who are not great at presentation, for more complicated jobs aptitude tests can be given and they are tested on how they do the job as well. There should be limited interference from hiring managers, outside of checking things like working hours and degrees or past references and giving a slightly higher ranking to those who are unattractive or disabled. The idea is to increase the representation of smart, capable or hard-working people who are not good at playing the social game and are unattractive in positions of high compensation or power, increasing their wealth and making it easier for them to surgerymax while also improving innovation and performance overall. This could also reduce lookism in society if more powerful or wealthy people were ugly.
