Seeking Comprehensive Diversity Recruiting Training?

The role of Chief Diversity Officer has been ranked by LinkedIn as the #1 fastest growing C-Suite title of 2020. This comes in part as company leaders have made pledges to fight against systemic racism and to increase diversity. As a DEI practitioner, you have likely been working diligently on the DEI strategy. So, what do you do when your company’s DEI strategy is ready for diversity recruiting?

Here’s what conversations between DEI and Recruitment typically look like. I wrote about this partnership dynamic in a recent newsletter.

D&I Leader: We are now approved to start diversity recruiting as a part of our overall DEI strategy.

Recruiting Leader: Great. How do I start?

D&I Leader: I don’t know how you start; RECRUITING is your area of expertise.

Recruiting Leader: I don’t know how to start; DIVERSITY is your area of expertise.

Our firm, Jennifer Tardy Consulting (JTC) was created to liaise between DEI and recruiting teams. We know what it feels like to need a partner who can translate across the aisle and we are here to fill that gap. 

As we end 2020 and begin forging a path toward our work in diversity and inclusion in 2021, our team can assist your organization in implementing an effective diversity recruiting program in two ways: (#1) consulting and (#2) training. 

#1 Consulting. Partner with JTC to determine the “ State of Diversity Recruiting at [YOUR COMPANY] .” We have a 6-phase strategic roadmap that we use to audit your company’s hiring policies, practices and behaviors. We analyze the data and diagnose areas for improvement and follow up with a customized Diversity Recruiting Strategy. We can even support implementation and measurement of recommendations. 

#2 Training. Partnership may also include enrollment into one of our diversity recruitment training programs or workshops: 

Diversity Magnet Recruiter (DMR) | 7-weeks, virtual | a complete recruiting program designed to help both corporate and agency recruiters to find, attract, engage, and employ more women, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, and people who identify as LGBTQ+.

DMR for Hiring Managers  | 6-weeks, virtual | a complete hiring program designed to help managers understand diversity recruitment, retention, and making effective selection decisions to ultimately achieve increased company representation of women, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, and people who identify as LGBTQ+.

Increase Diversity 101 Workshop Series | 90-minutes, monthly, virtual | a workshop that focuses on a different topic within diversity recruiting and retention. Our goal is to enhance your diversity recruiting competency throughout the year and hand you the tools you need to effectively increase diversity in your organization.

Our team is on a mission to make it easy for hiring leaders and historically underrepresented job seekers to meet and forge career success. Therefore, I want to do everything I can do help as many employers as I can to reach your goal of increasing diversity. 

Here is a free gift from us to you. Download a free copy of our Platinum Checklist For Hiring Professionals . This is a tool that can help you to outline steps you must start doing, stop doing and continue doing in order to increase diversity. 

Finally, if you are in the market for a new position, join our LinkedIn Group “The Society for Diversity: Careers & Collaborations Community of Practice”. Our goal is to provide career advice to professionals committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion to network. We’ll cover a wide range of career topics like resume development, creating a job search strategy, interviewing, salary negotiation, and career development. Help us to build this community by engaging with the content, asking questions, posting DEI-related positions, and sharing your experiences! Or you can invite other professionals to join this Community of Practice!

Have a happy and safe holiday season.
