What Is Inclusive Recruitment?
- Inclusive recruitment is the process of connecting with, interviewing, and hiring a diverse set of individuals through understanding and valuing different backgrounds and opinions. Inclusive recruiting should be intersectional and consider more than just gender or race.
- Inclusive recruitment is designed to eliminate as much bias as possible when hiring for your open positions. With a greater understanding of unconscious bias, your hiring team can create a more inclusive process and attract diverse talent.
- An inclusive recruiting environment considers how different experiences, opinions, and values can work together to achieve a common goal.

- Widen your search to include diverse groups and pools of talent
- Inclusively design the application process
- Make shortlisting fair
