Attracting and Sourcing Diverse Candidates (Coursera)

Attracting and Sourcing Diverse Candidates (Coursera)

It is during the shortlisting and interviewing processes, which are typically undertaken by a single panel, that candidates most often report being unfairly assessed during recruitment efforts. In this situation, it is often revealed that personal characteristics, such as age, gender, or race, rather than relevant characteristics, such as skills and experience, fed into a particular decision about who to hire.
