5 Tips for an LGBTQ+ Inclusive Recruitment Process
By Gabriele Silva, Recruitment Director for VF Corporation in the EMEA region.
Before the list, I give you a reminder that each contact and conversation with a candidate should reflect your company culture and your commitment to inclusion and diversity (eg. being open minded, creating a safe place for a candidate to be free, allow to ask questions, share actions and commitment etc.).
- Everything starts with a Job Advertisement, so ensure these are encouraging diverse applicants to apply
- Ensure that the recruiters and hiring managers are aware of their biases and know how to handle them
- Share an LGBTQ+ employee's experience and share details about Employees Resources Group (ERG) groups and specific initiatives
- Pick a diverse hiring team to make sure that various candidates’ profiles feel welcome and represented
- When relevant, offer candidates to connect with an LGBTQ+ employee to share their experiences about the organization culture
