At Embrace Inclusion, our Inclusive Hiring Workshop transforms how organisations approach recruitment and talent acquisition. Traditional hiring practices often unintentionally reinforce biases, limiting access to top talent from underrepresented groups. Our workshop empowers HR professionals and hiring managers with cutting-edge strategies to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout every stage of the hiring process.
Through interactive exercises and practical toolkits, participants will:
-
Redefine job descriptions: Learn how to craft inclusive, bias-free job ads that attract diverse talent by focusing on competencies and potential rather than traditional qualifications alone.
-
Implement bias-free screening: Develop techniques to design fair screening processes using structured interviews and blind application methods to reduce unconscious bias.
-
Conduct equitable interviews: Gain skills to facilitate interviews that are culturally responsive, fair, and rooted in behavioural evidence, ensuring that every candidate has an equal chance to showcase their potential.
Key topics include:
-
Understanding the impact of bias in talent acquisition and how to counteract it.

-
Strategies for creating a culture of inclusion from the very first interaction with potential hires
