Question

What new training programs and processes would you propose to to develop effective recruiting and selection methods to attract more minorities and women? Please be as specific as possible

Answer 1

There should be a behavioral and cross-cultural training program for the recruitment & selection team, focused to enhance the understanding towards, employee diversity, cultural environment among minorities and women and the necessary action required to attract these groups of people. As a result of this training program, the team can better evaluate the minorities and women and also implement the affirmative action plan to recruit minorities & women as per the guidelines of equal employment opportunity laws.
There should be a new process to advertise the job openings in the media outlet specifically popular in minorities & women such as newspapers, job websites specific for minorities and women and the colleges for minorities & women. It will help the team to attract the top talents who are either women or in the category of minorities.
There should be carefully designed message involved with the job advertisement that can cause the minority and women candidates to make favorable decisions towards the job and apply for it.
Above proposed initiatives in terms of training program and improved process of recruitment, will help the recruitment team in the organization to attract more number of women and minorities.
