Casting a Wider Net: Fresh, Productive Approaches to Diversity Recruiting
Many companies fall short of their diversity-hiring goals because they keep looking in the same places–and with the same techniques and expectations. What are the best ways for employers to break out of these patterns? How can they reconsider their job specifications to bring in more non-traditional candidates and prospects who could thrive with a modest amount of training and upskilling? What are the new and innovative ways to strengthen a diverse pipeline?
From Day One is a Recertification Provider for SHRM and HRCI. This session is eligible for 3 credits from both organizations. The Activity IDs will be sent to attendees after the conclusion of the session.
