A practical remote workshop to enable teams to attract a diverse range of people and adopt inclusive and effective hiring practices.
About this event
What the workshop is about:
We’re delivering a practical workshop to enable organisations to benefit from our tried and tested approaches for attracting a diverse range of people, ensuring candidates feel empowered and supported, and encouraging effective and inclusive decision making among the hiring team.
Through sharing knowledge and facilitating a range of activities and discussion, during this workshop we will focus in depth on the following key aspects of a recruitment process:
Understanding and communicating value - we’ll demonstrate how you can devise job ads which are accessible, showcase your values and in turn attract the best candidates for your team.
Navigating biases and assumptions - we’ll encourage conversation and reflection around the biases different people possess stepping into the role of a hiring panel member
Holding and prompting meaningful conversations - we’ll introduce you to approaches for interviewing and mediating decisions in a fair and relational manner that sparks interesting and transparent conversation
At the end of this workshop you will have:
a variety of ideas, tools and examples to guide you in your recruitment process
a deeper knowledge of how biases affect perception of candidates and what to do about that
confidence to keep building and sharing best practice with your wider team (and access for your whole team to our recruitment guide & resources!)
an example job advert for one of your roles and a relevant set of interview questions to use in the future
This workshop is designed for:
Managers and HR staff looking to change hiring processes
Team leaders and members wanting to be involved in the process
We also welcome people who are entirely new to hiring and growing teams - please indicate your level of experience when you sign up so that we can tailor the content to you.
Length: 10am - 4pm with plenty of breaks and an hour for lunch
