BOOK

The equity edge : how addressing bias in recruiting and retention drives success

Tardy, Jenn author

2025

Overview

\"More than ever, recruiting agencies, HR departments, and business leaders have felt the need to diversify the workplace. But hiring managers and recruiters remain largely in the dark about the specific stages of the hiring process where candidates feel unsupported and loss of talent occurs. The Equity Edge addresses the hurdles that face diverse groups of job seekers and employees. At each stage-finding, attracting, engaging, selecting, and developing talent-managers need to challenge their idea of who is qualified for a job. Readers will learn about: the concept of \"life events biases\" we can have, from pedigree bias to competitor bias and professionalism bias; the importance of having an employment brand that is separate from your corporate brand; how to take into account a person's Lived Experience Quotient (LEQ), the diverse knowledge, skills, and abilities that they've gained throughout their lifetime; how to move from attempting to be bias free (impossible) to a more pragmatic bias-aware model. This book helps experts, leaders, and recruiters make better decisions on who to hire and how to keep great talent\"-- Provided by publisher.
