In our recent webinar, Diversity and Inclusivity to Attract Resourceful Candidates, Sophie Okonkwo, Global Talent Acquisition – Engineering EMEA at Microsoft, shared how to effectively implement diversity and inclusivity into your hiring practices.

To be effective, Okonkwo said D&I strategies have to be end-to-end in recruiting, starting with creating inclusive job descriptions. “I see some job descriptions that are repellant to candidates, using words that are not appropriate,” she said. “You need to use gender-neutral words.” She said to be careful about using phrases such as “strong candidates to work in a fast-paced environment” which can discourage potentially great candidates from applying.

Okonkwo also shared other D&I strategies in recruiting, such as:

• Improving diversity in sourcing
• Using blind hiring tools
• Sharing D&I employment practices
• Leveraging a screening framework for interviews
• Ensuring diverse representation on the interview panel
• Measuring and promoting D&I efforts

Okonkwo also emphasized the importance of investing in the next generation of diverse talents. “You cannot keep hiring out of the same pool if you are not replenishing that pool,” said Okonkwo.

According to LinkedIn, about 70% of the workforce is considered passive. In case you’re new here, that means they’re employed but potentially looking for a job change.

The kicker is you won’t find passive candidates in your applications. They have no idea who you are, probably don’t know anything about your company, and they don’t want the job you’re offering.

Well…they don’t want it yet. 

You Just Live in It

This is where you step in.

Engaging passive candidates takes a specialized level of communication, mindset, and proactive nurturing that doesn’t necessarily apply to their active peers. But it’s not impossible.

Lauren Kessler, Regional Talent Acquisition Manager at Slalom and Passive Candidate Whisperer, is giving you 60 minutes of in-depth training.

In this on-demand webinar, Lauren will outline six proven steps to help move your most sought-after passive candidates to active opportunities.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Where to Find Passive Candidates
2. Messaging: Get them excited about the company, not the role
3. Offer the Networking Call
4. Ask! And respect if they aren’t interested
5. A Casual Process: offer casual next steps that benefit the candidate
6. Keep in Touch

Patience Is the Process

But it’s worth it.

Staying sharp with nearly 70% of the active workforce makes sense – whether for the role you have open now or one they’ll (more than likely) be looking for later.

Dust off your passive contact list, give it a big ole hug, and enjoy the webinar.

But in recruiting, you have to slam those suckers.

It’s no secret that candidates are currently king. They hold the lock & key to an increasingly unpredictable job market, particularly when sealing job deals.

From the beginning, your conversations and every interaction you have with your candidates will impact your relationships with them.

i.e., you have to get it right.

That’s exactly why Larry Anderson, Master of Recruiting, HRTX Alumni, and Talent Acquisition Manager at Slalom, walks us through 7 steps guaranteed to help you hone your strategy and close more candidates – even in this challenging landscape.

A few things we’ll cover:

• Building a buying atmosphere
• How to “trial close” throughout your recruiting process
• The “Debrief” and why it’s important
• Ensuring you candidates want to work with you and actually want the job you’re trying to find them
• “If I (x), will you (y)?”

And more, of course.

When One Door Closes…

So should another. And another. And another.

Historically speaking, talent has existed on every corner of the globe while jobs stayed local. You know this. But we’ve flipped the narrative.

Now we have planet-sized talent pools to fill jobs anywhere. And, if Google Image Search is right, we’re all doing it from beautiful mountain-side cabins with bottomless lattes and a view of the sunset.

Sounds pretty sweet, huh?

Sure. But also a little bit confusing and terrifying.

Working remotely isn’t necessarily a natural skill set, but with all environmental changes, adaptation is essential to growth.  Most of us must learn how to maintain relationships and manage our physical environments in new ways if we want to be successful.

If you’re looking for tips and tricks on how to maximize productivity in a remote setting, Shally Steckerl has that in spades.

Watch this session to learn how to balance your remote work mojitos on the beach with configuring and directing an ultimate remote-sourcing team. 

And make sure to download the asset for bonus materials & gear recommendations.

You’ll leave with:

• The top five benefits to building a remote sourcing team

The world has changed. So has sourcing.

Listen, working from home isn’t always easy. But it can be incredibly rewarding and has opened up a universe of opportunities for talent and employers alike.

With intention and dedication, you can evolve your skillset and build a sourcing team hotter than the pajama pants you wear during your Friday morning team calls.

We May be Bookers – but We’re Not “Order Takers.”

This is well-established. In our own right, we are rebels—the dark vigilantes of the TA underworld.

We work in our own corners to the beat of our own drums, and that’s what we do, and nobody can tell us otherwise.

Except for Our Hiring Managers. 

That’s why Marvin Booker, AKA “The Sourcing Jedi”, gave us 60 minutes of unrivaled training on how to master live sourcing during intake, and we want to share it with you.

As Marvin says, “It’s easy as baking a cake,” (a dark, hackery cake) if you have the right ingredients and general knowledge of the chemistry. Marvin is a really swell dude – super nice. We absolutely love him, but we know what he really means.

During this session, we talk about ways in which we can put everything together and rise to perfection every time.

Just a Few Items We’ll Cover:

• Show Me You Know Me – learning about your hiring manager, client, industry vertical, and their team.
• Understanding the Competitive Landscape, or Addressable Market
• Pre-Sourcing Candidates to Gather Insights on the Ideal Candidate
• What are we trying to solve? Where are the gaps? What is the urgency?

Marvin provided about 10 more takeaways, but the sourcing world is full of mystique, so of course we cannot list them all.

If you want this cake frosted, you’ll have to watch the show.

Welcome to Marvin’s Kitchen.

All this and more will help us to be more consultative in our relationships with our clients and eliminate surprises. We are here to discover the art (and flavor) of understanding ways in which we can proactively pre-search, source, and come better prepared for our intake meetings.

Sound like a plan? Great…bring your apron.

We asked Shally Steckerl, The Godfather of Sourcing, to join us live and show you the most useful everyday recruiting and sourcing shortcuts in Excel Powertools and Google Sheets he knows of.

He said yes. And we were thrilled.

Then, as always, he sent us a detailed list of what he’ll teach.

Now, this is the point where we would normally pick a few items and write a description filled with mystery, GIFs, maybe a touch of comedy, hoping you’ll come back for the whole shebang.

But Shally’s training cup runneth over with golden nuggets. We could not choose only a few, and using statements like “and much more!” cannot encompass the breadth of what you’ll take home from this session.

So we decided to give you the full rundown. Brace yourself.

Here’s exactly what you’ll learn:

• How to split and combine columns with “Text to Columns, CONCATENATE, CELL, LEFT, MID and RIGHT” functions
• Easily filter big lists or combine multiple sheets using “ARRAY”
• Counting with “countif”
• Why “VLOOKUP” and the new “XLOOKUP” are way better than Pivot tables
• Transform exported data from Seekout (and similar tools)
• Identify and eliminate duplicates
• Making friends with Flash Fill
• Using conditional formatting to give your eyes a break
• What the heck is “char(34)” and what’s it for?
• Why the “INDEX” and “MATCH” combination often is superior to “VLOOKUP” or “HLOOKUP”
• Simplify multiple-field look-ups with concatenation (combining fields into a single cell)
• How to deal with #N/A and funky characters like @ and “”
• How to combine multiple CSVs in a folder with a single step
• Automatically convert cells into hyperlinks
• Shortcuts for PC and Mac
• Easy date calculations with “Today, Days, Working Days, and Months”
• Magical “transpose” formula to flip large tables 90 degrees

Yes, we know. It’s an impressive list of tricks & shortcuts. Some may even call it intimidating.

It’s okay – we are going to do this together (we’ll also send you cheat materials after the webinar).

And no worries – if you can’t make the live event, grab your seat, anyway. You’ll get the recording and slide deck just for registering.

Sound good? Good.

See you there.

We all know this.

But how do you, as a Recruiting Professional, make sure that your hiring processes are intentionally equitable and inclusive?

Daniela (Dani) Herrera, Director of Recruitment & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at R/GA, guides us through a closer look at our current hiring practices.

She uncovers opportunities to minimize biases, elevate talent from historically excluded communities, and explains how to embed inclusive and equitable strategies along the way. She also deconstructs some of the most common un-inclusive recruitment practices, and goes over actionable inclusive strategies you can start implementing right away.

Key Takeaways

• Recognize inherent biases in your interview and hiring practices
• Identify un-inclusive and un-intentional practices in your current processes
• Find Inclusion and Equity improvement opportunities in your strategies, processes, and systems
• Learn actionable strategies to support your Equitable and Inclusive efforts
• Registrants will receive a downloadable guide to keep on hand.

Long story short: Hiring “Diverse Talent” is easy. Talent is everywhere! 

But ensuring our systems and processes are intentionally equitable and inclusive takes a lot more effort.
