1 blunder: A "blunder" is a stupid or clumsy mistake, typically caused by ignorance or confusion. The article mentions "blunders made by inexperienced managers", these refer to bad mistakes made in interviews by employees or managers who have little training.
2 bias: To have a "bias (towards or against something)" is to demonstrate a preference or inclination towards or against it. The article mentions that many managers show "bias towards or against gender, race, age, and sexual orientation", meaning that they often show prejudice in these areas. "Biased" is the adjective form, for example: Philip is biased towards hiring attractive females. Note that "discrimination" could also be the correct answer here.
