Eliminating Unconscious Bias From Recruitment

  • Voluntary Sector North West 20 Swan Street Manchester, England, M4 5JW United Kingdom (map)

This interactive workshop will engage participants with information, hints and tips to lead to reduced unconscious bias in recruitment.

About this event

Those of us who responsibility for recruitment carry a huge load. There are a myriad of regulations, most of which we are aware of. But, sometimes, we look at the regulations and overlook the "holistic helicopter". We know what we are doing; we know why we are doing it; we may even know how we are doing it. Joining all three elements and also having a bias free process is a real challenge.

This interactive workshop will engage participants with information, hints and tips to lead to reduced unconscious bias in recruitment. We will be equipped with useable information. The session will be led by:
