Neglecting diversity, equity, and inclusion is no longer an option for employers.

3 out of 4 job candidates prioritise diversity when evaluating businesses and job offers... But only 78% of recruiters acknowledge its impact on their hiring process.

Studies show that 72% of underrepresented groups desire a diverse panel of interviewers who share similar traits. Candidates who feel they need to be represented are 5x more likely to reject an offer.

In a highly competitive tech industry, retaining top talent requires creating a culture that values diversity and inclusion.

When employees feel that they can be their authentic selves and still be valued, they are more likely to stay with the company.

And that's not all. Building a diverse and inclusive workplace not only helps with talent retention, but also leads to increased creativity and innovation.

We’re really passionate about DEI in tech & would love to share more thoughts (or just be a sounding board). Feel free to DM anyone in the team if you'd like to connect about it.

Creating an environment in which employees feel engaged and valued is fundamental to employee retention.

And it doesn't have to be rocket science... It can be as simple as fostering a culture in which employees have sufficient autonomy and authority to make decisions about how they spend their working days, where they work from and what tasks should be prioritised.

Basics like compensation, flexibility and the ability to actually make an impact all contribute massively to employee satisfaction. This, in turn, means your business retains top talent - a win for everyone involved!

Embracing Diversity & Inclusion in Hiring: Taking Action for a Better Future

Did you know: Three out of four job candidates prioritise diversity when evaluating businesses and job offers, while 78% of recruiters acknowledge its impact on their hiring process. Neglecting diversity, equity, and inclusion is no longer an option for companies.

So, how can we turn the ship around? It starts with the interview.

Studies show that 72% of underrepresented groups desire a diverse & inclusive panel of interviewers who share similar traits. Candidates who don't feel represented are five times more likely to reject an offer.

But here's the good news: technology can simplify and enhance this process. Thanks to tech like Zoom and/or Teams, hiring teams can effortlessly create interview panels with diverse backgrounds and demographics.

Great interviews do two things:

1 - They focus on a specific set of competencies and yield a strong signal for interviewers to inform a hire/no-hire decision.

2 -They maximise signal for the candidate about the role, their future team, and the company.

We loved this blog about basic things anyone can do to improve the efficacy of interviews…






�PS: shoutout to Lee from Brainfood for sharing!

I have interviewed hundreds of candidates and have been interviewed more times than I’d like to admit. From my experience, most interview loops under-emphasize building the candidate’s unders…

Understanding the direct & indirect costs of employee turnover might help you recruit more intentionally…
The direct costs are approx 1/3 of salary, but the indirect costs - to team productivity, morale, cohesion - may be as much as x 4 salary.

And this dollar cost is just the start… If you hire the wrong person/ people, morale crumbles and performance suffers. But if you bring on the right talent, performance increases and growth accelerates.

With a deep understanding for what making a sub-optimal hiring decision could cost you, it’s easy to justify why you need professional assistance to find and hire a good-fit candidate.

We’d love to share more thoughts (or just be a sounding board).
