Inclusive recruitment is one important way to address the lack of diversity. By definition, inclusive recruitment is the process of recruiting a diverse pool of candidates for a job, with a focus on ensuring that all candidates have an equal opportunity to succeed - not just through equality but more importantly equity, ensuring people have the support they need to guide them through the process.
During this programme, you’ll learn how to get to grips with diversity and inclusion. Through advice and this training, you, as recruiters and members of the hiring team will gain the insight, tools, and confidence to attract marginalised and underrepresented talent, to be able to recruit more inclusively.
In line with many organisations, you are looking to reach out to future employees and be as inclusive as you can be, am I right? Of course. If COVID-19 in 2020 taught us anything it’s that we need to be person-centric, and understand the need of the individual, but even with our best of intentions, we can often find that ideal candidates do not engage in your recruitment process or drop out early on.
When we talk about Unconscious bias then this refers to a quick opinion about a situation or individual without being aware of such. By understanding how this can affect our judgement and candidate experience it becomes the first step on our journey to developing an inclusive recruitment process.
