Quick insights from our Founder, Pamela McElvane’s book, The Skiny on Diversity Recruitment. The thoughts shared here are gleaned from 15+ years of Diversity Benchmarking, executive discussions, and strategy development.

90% of human resource departments are responsible for diversity, equity & inclusion, and recruitment resources. The trend is that less than 10% of human resource budgets are allocated to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and an average of 15% is allocated to talent acquisition.

Your recruitment process should incorporate the best technology available. In today’s competitive environment, recruiting teams must leverage the latest technology and consider the impact of emerging technology like AI on future efforts. Furthermore, you must maintain a mindset of continuous learning: regularly assess the results and value of your tools and don’t be afraid to question the status quo.

Your recruitment process should be as simple as your organization can make it. You want to be able to know when and how you can improve, as well as, what can be adjusted quickly. Simple and straightforward recruitment processes deliver the best results. Be sure to track those results because if nothing is measured, nothing is managed.
