Technology and research have been tools for years in sourcing, recruiting, and the overall talent acquisition plan at many global companies to reach success.
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.
How can we define an Inclusive Employee Experience?
One of the widespread definitions is that it is an experience where every employee feels positively connected to their organization by constantly recognizing them as a valuable person.
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 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.
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.
It's no secret that many companies struggle to nurture and promote diversity. As we see time and time again, diversity and its advancement are goals without easy solutions. Rather than be turned off by complexity and difficulty, companies and recruiters must approach diversity like they would any other issue, with determination, curiosity, and creativity. That’s what we’ve done here at Entelo, which is why diversity is one of our core tenets and its advancement is behind one of our flagship products.
Beyond the moral and ethical reasons, there are business considerations for why every company ought to make diversity a priority. Countless studies have shown that diversity initiatives improve morale, corporate culture, employee retention and recruitment, all of which increase a company’s competitive advantage.
After almost 10 years unearthing talent for the likes of Pandora and Google, Marvin Stickel has seen it all in tech sourcing – from the evolution of the candidate vetting process, to the cultural shift in diversity hiring in Silicon Valley.
Pandora's principal sourcer joins this week's Hiring On All Cylinders to chat about his top challenges at the organization, lessons learned sourcing engineers at Google, and why he sometimes worries recruiting is too focused on ticking boxes.
