Everyone in a workplace should have a positive experience when going through the recruitment and selection process. Employees should feel like they are walking into an inclusive environment without fear of being judged or harassed during the recruitment process.
All candidates taking part in the recruitment process should believe that an organisation supports who they are and the impact they would have as a new hire. The workplace should be free from racism, subtle acts of exclusion (S.A.E.), discrimination, and other barriers to having a safe environment.
This toolkit looks at the impact of racism on diverse applicants during the many stages of the recruitment process. Implementing diversity and inclusion practices during the recruitment and selection process is one of the first steps to developing a more diverse workplace if this is a current struggle.
We hope that this resource helps staff/leaders to raise their awareness, knowledge and understanding surrounding the need for an inclusive recruitment and selection process.
This resource was developed to ensure that employers proactively develop inclusive recruitment strategies into their policies, practices, and procedures in the workplace.
