Description

Recruitment is a particularly key process in companies, especially from a diversity and inclusion perspective. It is a time when unconscious biases can come into play at every stage: identifying the need, job description, sourcing, selection of candidates, employer communication, interviews and selection of candidates.

Understanding when biases can come into play in the recruitment process, how to structure it and make it even more objective is an essential key to building a more diverse and inclusive company.

This e-learning course for HR and recruiters is structured around two main themes:

  • Reminding you of the legal framework and identifying the stereotypes and discriminatory reflexes that can be transmitted in employer communications, in the drafting of recruitment offers, in their distribution and during an interview (taking a step back from your tools).

  • Understanding the impact of unconscious biases in the recruitment process and adopting good practices to limit bias in selection and decision-making (identifying and valuing skills alone, asking the right questions to assess the right criteria, etc.).
