Last week, Entelo hosted a webinar discussing best practices for building and sustaining DE&I through the virtual lens. Moderation by Entelo’s VP of Customer Success, Andre Boulais, our panelists included Kevin Walters, Diversity L&D Recruiting Leader at Amazon; Aisha Nawaz, Senior Talent Acquisition Recruiter for Schneider Electric; and Eddie Moncayo, VP of Talent Acquisition and Development at Jumpcrew.
The demand and importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in organizations has never been higher than in 2020.
The global pandemic has disrupted work in ways unseen in centuries.
Entelo recently led a webinarfocused on the important steps and measures of success for building a diversity and inclusion program from scratch. Moderated by Entelo’s Senior Customer Education & Engagement Manager, Molly Siegel, our panelists included Kai Johnson, Corporate Marketing Manager at Salesforce; Kevin Walters, Diversity L&D Recruiting Leader at Amazon; and Andre Boulais, VP of Customer Success at our own Entelo. each shared the perspectives of three separate leaders championing DE&I efforts for different departments highlighting that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not just an HR initiative but an entire company initiative.
New or renovated?
Have you ever renovated your kitchen, or any room in your home, for that matter? After you renovated, did you step in and say, “ahhh...my new kitchen!” or “ahhh...my kitchen!” For all intents and purposes, it's still the same room, right? Just better!
So goes the story of how we recreated Entelo’s Chrome Extension. To start, I couldn’t help but ask, “what is the purpose of renovating?
Here at Entelo, we understand the longevity of work and the importance of being authentic when approaching DE&I initiatives. A couple of weeks ago, we sponsored a webinar discussing meaningful and practical ways for enacting these initiatives organization-wide.
Entelo’s commitment to diversity runs deep, as does our relentless desire to make the world a more inclusive place. As the recognized industry leader in diversity technology since 2014, “diversity” and “inclusion” have never been buzz-words to us. They’re core values held by our teams, and drive our decisions, from Engineering to Customer Success. From mitigating bias in sourcing to building diversity within talent pools, there’s a reason that we power many of the Fortune 500 on their journey to building a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
2020 has cast a glaring light on the disparities running rampant within our communities. While these systemic inequalities are no revelation to the communities victimized by them, for others in our society the last few months have been eye opening – leaving many asking how the year can be 2020 with seemingly little progress towards true equity.
2020 has cast a glaring light on the racial and socioeconomic inequalities running rampant within our communities. The COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world and our nation, has disproportionately affected African Americans and People of Color, who – due to gross economic disparities – make up the largest percentage of essential workers. This has pulled back the curtain on the realities of systemic racism and the persecution of the Black community, with an intensified spotlight on police brutality, and the growing Black Lives Matter movement across the country and globe demanding meaningful change.
It’s been an exciting past few months for Entelo, as we welcomed in a new CEO and completed an expansion of one of our most powerful integrations. Today, we add one more reason for celebration to the list – the appointment of our new VP of Customer Success, Andre Boulais.
Entelo today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Robert Tsao as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Tsao previously held the positions of Chief Product Officer and Vice President of Strategic Operations at Jobvite.
Talent Acquisition is changing daily and now is the time to invest in your people, review processes, and evaluate technologies.
The findings in Entelo's 2020 Recruiting Trends Report are based on survey data collected between December 2019 and January 2020 – well before the global spread of COVID-19 and its subsequent transformation of today's workforce.
It is clear that the challenges and priorities outlined in the report have shifted in response to today's pandemic. For this reason, we have revised the 2020 Recruiting Trends Report to include survey data collected throughout March and April 2020 which paints a more accurate picture of the current Talent Acquisition landscape.
While recruiting is a big part of the job description, there's still a ton of value recruiters can add amidst a slowdown in hiring. Think of all the high-level, strategic projects that you’ve started and stopped in favor of more immediate hiring needs – the projects that would completely up-level your recruiting process, if only you had the time to dedicate to them. Hiring slowdowns give you that time, allowing you to focus on more proactive initiatives and put your team in the best position possible once hiring commences.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some initiatives you can prioritize during a hiring lull, many of which are a focus for our most successful clients. Today’s hot topic - Market Mapping! Below we outline what it is, why you should do it, and how to get started.
We know that COVID-19 has been impacting organizations around the globe, with some industries being affected more so than others. As a result, Entelo is working to share resources and information to help our customers and the talent acquisition industry as a whole as they navigate this challenging time.
