Recruiting with an Eye Toward Equity
Listen now
Description
Finding new employees from diverse backgrounds can seem challenging if you don’t know where or how to look. But there are many talented people out there who could help transform your company — and if you don't hire them, your competition might.  In this second episode of our five-part series, host Jamika Burge speaks with computer science professor Ann Quiroz Gates, Google's Program Manager for University Relations Sloan Davis, and Joan Williams, the founder of Bias Interruptors, about techniques for hiring with an eye toward equity. They’ll offer action items from partnering with minority-serving institutions to thinking intentionally about diversity, equity, and inclusion.  Based on research and analysis from the National Academies’ consensus study “Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech,” Burge and her guests use design thinking to help engineering and tech companies recruit, retain, and advance women and people of color in their ranks.  Click HERE to view the full consensus study report.
