Webinar | Competency-based Hiring
Attracting and retaining top talent begins with opportunity. Traditional hiring practices can create barriers to the meaningful participation of women and other members of under-represented groups in the workforce. This session illustrates how organizations and hiring managers can implement inclusive, competency-based hiring practices to help remove barriers to opportunity and increase access to top talent and a more diverse and representative applicant pool.
Session Learning Objectives:
As a result of attending this session, participants will be able to:
- reflect on advantages and drawbacks of different applicant-evaluation methods.
- identify key areas to ensure fairness and objectivity at each stage of the applicant-recruitment journey.
- examine biases that come into play in evaluation and hiring decisions.
- identify ways to interrupt these biases and limit them from becoming embedded into organizational processes, procedures, and policies.
