DEI Hiring:

Standardising your Interview Process

Interviews are essential tools for employee selection and assessment, but they often come with risks such as unconscious biases and inconsistent evaluations. By standardizing the interview process, organizations can create a transparent, engaging experience and establish a level playing field for all candidates.

Best Practices for Conducting Bias-Free Interviews

We've taken our DEI learnings and experiences as a recruitment organisation, and produced a DEI hiring resource that will help to guide you in standardising your interview framework. In addition to this, inside you'll find valuable initiatives, practical strategies and tools to help kickstart DEI conversations into your recruitment processes, including:

• Exploring Your 'Why': Understand the rationale behind your DEI initiatives to drive meaningful change.
• Auditing Current Recruiting Practices: Review and assess your existing interview processes for inclusivity and fairness.
• Getting Buy-In from Senior Leaders: Engage leadership to prioritize DEI efforts and foster an inclusive hiring culture.
• Crafting Inclusive Job Descriptions: Write job descriptions that attract diverse candidates and reflect your organization's values.
• Mitigating Unconscious Biases in Hiring: Implement training and strategies to recognize and reduce biases throughout the hiring process.
• Diversifying Candidate Sourcing: Broaden your recruitment strategies to connect with a wider range of candidates.
