This episode is on hiring for impact. After spending good few years in recruitment and talent roles myself, both agency and in-house, recruiting and talent management are topics close to my heart. So, I know that this time of the year is time when we often reflect on the year so far, what we have achieved personally and professional, do we feel fulfilled, satisfied, valued, recognised, rewarded.
For today's episode I got together with the amazing Niani Tolbert to talk about hiring for impact. Niani is from Brooklyn, New York and as many of us at the peak of the pandemic found herself furloughed and many of her colleagues and friends laid off. All that mixed with what happened with George Floyd, left her anxious about what she can do to help from the safety of her own home. Her offer to help 19 black women with their resumes, turned into a movement that is now known as the Hire Black Initiative with a mission of getting 10,000 women hired, trained and promoted.
I spoke with Niani Tolbert about:
1) Where do we begin with disrupting this system?
2) Building a strong and credible employer brand
3) Hiring for speed and hiring for impact
4) Training hiring managers to be hiring managers
5) People hire people: removing the unconscious bias
