Just one weekend, one deck of cards, and a fresh approach to hiring inclusively. This weekend, I spent some time diving into a deck of cards I picked up from Anna Ott at HV Capital at the XENA Conference. Each card focuses on a different aspect of inclusive hiring. It was a reminder of the impact small, thoughtful changes can have on the hiring process. As I went through the cards, I thought about the steps I can take to make every part of the process, from job descriptions to final interviews, more inclusive and welcoming for all candidates. Have any of you implemented inclusive hiring practices that made a real difference? I’d love to hear your stories! Thank you Anna! _______ Hit the 🔔 on my profile for expert insights on strategic talent acquisition, retention, recruitment, HR processes, and productivity tips for your startup and teams. #XENAConference #InclusiveHiring #DiversityAndInclusion #TalentAcquisition

Christine's Talent Acquisition Tip of the Week Level Up Your Early Career Recruitment: Inclusive Strategies for Top Talent Hey, #TalentAcquisition pros! Looking to snag the brightest early-career talent while ensuring inclusivity for all, including those with disabilities? Here's a game-changing tip: Think beyond the traditional resume. Skills-based assessments and projects can uncover hidden gems and level the playing field for candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This approach allows individuals to showcase their abilities rather than relying solely on their educational or work history, which can be a barrier for those with disabilities. By incorporating this strategy, you'll not only build a more diverse and inclusive workforce but also gain access to a wider pool of exceptional talent. #diversityandinclusion #earlycareer #recruitingtips #disabilityinclusion

Last week, we hosted a #FairChanceHiring webinar in recognition of Fair Chance Hiring Month. Throughout the webinar, panelists representing corporations and nonprofit partners shared their experience implementing Fair Chance Hiring initiatives in addressing talent shortages while promoting inclusion and social equity. Panelists included: Nan Gibson, Executive Director, Policy Center, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Matt Primack, President, Advocate Condell Medical Center Liana Bran, Director of Expansion Strategy, Cara Plus Stephanie Dolan, Program Director, Corporate Coalition of Chicago Here’s what we learned: ◾ The power of partnerships: Successful Fair Chance Hiring initiatives rely on robust partnerships between employers and community organizations. These collaborations not only facilitate talent acquisition but also provide crucial support for retention and advancement within organizations. Notably, partnerships between Advocate Aurora Health and Cara Chicago have paved the way for over 80 fair chance opportunities, demonstrating their commitment to partnership and community engagement. ◾ Navigating regulatory challenges: Highly regulated financial institutions, like JPMorgan Chase & Co., have found innovative ways to navigate regulatory barriers. Collaborative efforts with regulators, like the Fair Hiring and Banking Act, have led to meaningful reforms, enabling employers to access a broader talent pool. ◾ Changing the narrative: One in three working age Americans have a record that may be a significant barrier to employment. This means most people know someone who deserves a second chance. By championing inclusive hiring practices, we can foster societal reintegration and empower individuals to thrive in the workforce. The Second Chance Business Coalition has partnered with approximately 80 organizations, like the National Basketball Association (NBA), to provide employers with resources and reach a broader audience with the goal of shifting perceptions about second chance hiring and record clearing. ◾ Holistic talent development: Viewing candidates holistically is essential. It's not just about modifying the background check process but addressing various barriers candidates might face throughout the hiring journey, from job awareness to interview preparation. JPMorgan Chase & Co. developed a community hiring model, holds expungement clinics with their pro bono legal team, and collaborates with community partners to address regulatory frameworks and barriers candidates may face throughout the hiring journey. By embracing Fair Chance Hiring, organizations can tap into a diverse talent pool, foster inclusion, and drive innovation in the workplace. Let's continue these conversations and work towards building a more equitable future of work together. #secondchancehiring #Chicago #access #opportunity #workforce #collaboration #BusinessUNusual #diversity #equity #inclusion #untappedtalent #talentacquisiton #retention #partnerships
