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.

New recruiting technologies hitting the market today have unlocked the potential to completely revolutionize recruiting as we know it. But with the promise of new technologies must come a dedication to learning complex tools and changing behavior across the organization. And if your team happens to implement many new tools in one fell swoop, then team downtime and your laundry list of training to-dos only snowballs.
At Entelo, we firmly believe diversity is the true foundation of all great companies. We also believe there is much more technology can do to help organizations build this foundation. That’s why we spent countless hours interviewing recruiters, picking the brains of industry leaders, and facilitating discussion panels to understand the biggest D&I challenges facing talent organizations. These conversations helped us to better identify the obstacles keeping recruiting teams from reaching their D&I goals and ultimately develop new functionality to solve for these pain points.
Today we are excited to announce four new additions to Entelo’s diversity toolkit: Diverse Pipeline Reports, Diversity Highlights, Inclusive Language Insights, and Peer-Based Skills.

The passive talent market is tricky. As a recruiter, you want to get in front of passive talent with the right opportunity at the right time – before they raise their hands and announce to the (recruiting) world that they’ve hit the job market. Since they’re not actively looking, this becomes quite the guessing game.
If successful, you beat the competition to the punch and are making hires before they can say “impressed by your background.” More often than we’d like, however, recruiting outreach garners no response at all.

It’s estimated that in 2018 the average business professional received 120 emails a day. That comes out to 600 emails a week flooding your candidate’s inbox – and when many of those emails offer little more than a useless distraction, it becomes exceedingly difficult to cut through the noise as a recruiter. Add to the mix an average attention span of a mere 8 seconds and you have all the ingredients for an uphill battle.
Did you know recruiters spend about 13 hours a week sourcing candidates for a single role?
Sourcing is one of the biggest recruiting time sinks, leaving little time for candidate-recruiter human interaction and building rapport between recruiters. With unemployment at historical lows, an increasing skills gap, and insatiable demand for today’s specialized roles, talent teams are turning to recruiting automation to prioritize personal connections over repetitive, time-consuming sourcing tasks. In fact, 70% of talent acquisition professionals agree that automation would increase their hiring productivity.
The internet has created a million talent pools of every variety, but when you’re looking for technical hires a few places in particular stand above the rest: GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Hacker News.
The ever-tightening technical hiring market has turned these communities into essential talent sources for recruiters, yet finding the right candidates still comes down to knowing the particular rules, lingo and cultures that fuel these destinations. By the way, Envoy by Entelo, the world's first AI-powered outbound recruiting and talent sourcing solution might be able to help you with that.
For the uninitiated, that can mean a steep learning curve, which is where this guide comes in handy. If you’re on the hunt for technical talent of all stripes and the usual talent sources have dried up, here’s how to get started in the land of programmer-centric online communities.
