Ep 384: Diversity In Action
There is a lot of talk about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in talent acquisition, but when you dig below the surface, the amount of practical action happening doesn't live up to the promises made.\n\nA few weeks ago long time friend of the podcast Bas Van De Haterd introduced me to one of the most inspiring recruiters I've spoken to for a long time.\n\nEug\xe8ne van den Hemel helps employers recruit talent from communities that are historically underrepresented in the job market. In the last few years, he has been doing some pioneering work helping to connect refugees with employment opportunities and, in so doing, opening employers' eyes to an incredible pool of talent.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nRecruiting to make matches that matter\n\nDealing with inaccurate preconceptions\n\nThe power of humans meetings humans\n\nThe problem with current thinking on certifications\n\nAdvice to employers looking to hire refugees\n\nBroader leaning for recruitment in a time of automation and technology\n\nJobs For Humanity\n\nWhat is the future of recruiting?\n\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
