Inclusive Recruitment

Inclusive Recruitment is a video-based course where award-winning EDIA leader Dr. Joanna Abeyie MBE CC shares a blueprint for accessing underrepresented talent and building a truly diverse workforce. Drawing on her extensive work in cultural transformation, Joanna explains that to hire the best, you must first "access the rest" by rethinking traditional recruitment funnels. This course provides practical tools to help you signal your commitment to diversity in the marketplace and develop an Employer Value Proposition (EVP) that genuinely resonates with a wide range of candidates. You will learn how to make critical adjustments to your selection process—from inclusive job descriptions to accessible assessment methods—to ensure you are evaluating required skills rather than just familiarity. A key highlight of the lesson is Joanna’s challenge to the standard concept of "cultural fit," proposing "culture add" as a more effective way to drive innovation. By mastering these inclusive practices, you will be equipped to build a hiring process that is not only equitable but also designed to secure the highest-caliber talent regardless of their background.

•  Develop a diversity centered employer value proposition to attract underrepresented talent pools
•  Implement practical process adjustments to ensure an inclusive and accessible candidate assessment
•  Execute skill based selection methods to evaluate candidate potential and organizational cultural add

This course includes:

• Approximately 26 minutes of video lessons.
