Building Diverse Teams

Tech has a massive diversity problem, and as a hiring manager, you shouldn't make that problem any worse (especially as diverse teams are scientifically proven to be better than homogeneous ones). From this lesson, you will:

• Recognize that common sourcing tactics like source-a-thons and friend-of-friend methods may introduce biases by yielding candidates similar to existing networks
• Learn strategies to actively promote diversity during the sourcing process, such as explicitly focusing on diversity in sourcing sessions to influence the diversity of the candidate pipeline
• Understand the importance of ensuring the top of the recruitment funnel is diverse, as this sets the stage for diverse hiring outcomes
• Discover ways to prioritize efforts in closing candidates, potentially focusing extra effort on diverse or outstanding candidates to ensure equitable recruitment practices
