Inclusive recruitment workshop
Strategies to widen the talent pool and tap into the benefits of broader perspectives
Do you see the same type of people being hired into teams? Do hiring managers say they can’t find under-represented talent e.g. women, because “there aren’t any out there, or applying for the role”. What does ‘hire the best person for the job’ really mean? How do our previous experiences, or even the gender of the person currently in the role shape our views of who will be a good fit for the team?
There can be a lot of unconscious bias in the hiring process. Research shows that even the origin of your name influences whether you get an interview call back or not.
Perspective Hive’s inclusive recruitment workshops are targeted at hiring managers and HR teams to help recognise and disrupt unconscious bias during the hiring process. The workshops addresses how to consider culture fit (being a good match for the organisational values), but also culture add – bringing new perspectives, diversity of thinking and lived experiences to the team.
What is covered
Our inclusive recruitment workshop is tailored to your organisation and can be delivered both face-to-face and online. The workshop explores common types of biases during the recruitment process, and how to disrupt them during:
- The search: role definition and requirements, the advertising approach.
- The selection: short listing and interviewing.
- The hire: selection decision and onboarding.
