EDI training
Inclusive recruitment and fair selection
Fairer, more consistent hiring, by understanding where bias enters the process and building simple safeguards against it.
What the session covers
Content is shaped around your organisation, but a typical session includes:
- Where bias enters hiring: adverts, shortlisting, interviews and scoring
- Writing inclusive, accessible job adverts and descriptions
- Fairer shortlisting: clear criteria instead of gut feel
- Running a structured, consistent interview panel
- Scoring against evidence, not impressions
- Reasonable adjustments, offered and handled well
What is included
Every booking includes the following as standard:
- A scoping conversation beforehand, so the session fits your organisation and your people
- The session itself, delivered online or in person
- Slides and any handouts used on the day
- A practical takeaway so people leave with something they can act on
- Time for questions and discussion, with an option to gather questions anonymously in advance
- Accessibility considered throughout, including captions online and materials in advance on request
What your organisation gets from it
- A hiring process that is consistent enough to defend, and fairer as a result
- Practical templates and prompts you can use in your next recruitment round
- Shared language across your panels, so people assess against the same things
- Fewer decisions made on gut feel, which is where most bias enters
Who it is for
Hiring managers, interview panel members, HR and recruitment teams, and anyone who sits on a shortlisting or selection decision.
