Over the past year and a half, the hiring market has drastically shifted with many talent acquisition leaders leveraging technology to tap into new talent pools.
There has been an unbelievable amount of change over the past year. From a global pandemic to social and political unrest to a total change in how we work around the world. Throughout these tumultuous times, Entelo has worked to remain a constant force for good.
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’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.

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.

Data science is at the core of Entelo, improving search relevance (Entelo Search), fine-tuning candidate recommendations (Envoy), and powering outreach and candidate insights (Entelo Track and Entelo Insights). More specifically, machine learning drives these automated and data-driven features – constantly running in the background to make Entelo smarter and more efficient. However, if improperly used, machine learning has the potential to introduce biases in the system. In this article, I describe how Entelo eliminates those potential biases.
As the Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Dentsu Aegis, DK Barkley plays a pivotal role in the direction of the company’s overall diversity strategy. At the start of this year, his team identified two main areas of focus – increasing female representation in leadership and hiring and promoting talent from underrepresented groups.
New recruiting technologies hitting the market today have unlocked the potential to completely revolutionize recruiting as we know it.
