Comprehensive short- and long-term plans

Recruiting highly-qualified diverse talent requires a thoughtful, multi-pronged approach.

Program Details

Diversity Recruitment Strategy projects should be focused on specific goals and measurable outcomes. Before identifying a particular solution, your Seen@Work team will work with you to determine what recruiting areas you would like to improve, accounting for considerations like…​

  • Which identity groups are under-represented or over-indexed?​

  • What roles, functions, and skillsets have greatest need for support?​

  • Which hiring levels are areas of greater or lesser success?​

  • What institutional priorities have been set by company leaders, board directors, shareholders, municipalities, or other governing agents?​

One organization’s needs in this area will be very different from another, so Diversity Recruitment Strategy projects are highly customized. Your Seen@Work team may offer support in areas like…​

  • Hosting recruiting events for talent with specific skillsets or identities ​

  • Leveraging alternative talent sources with a demonstrated history of yielding highly-qualified hires from diverse backgrounds​

  • Vetting executive search firms that can help diversify your leadership team​

  • Forming institutional partnerships with professional or educational associations focused on certain communities​

  • Updating candidate selection processes to be more equitable and inclusive​
