Following on from Jennifer Hughes' Made in Group's Virtual Breakfast Morning Best Practise presentation (which can be found at Recruitment Strategies for Diversity & Empowerment), we're thrilled that the changes we've made to our recruitment process in order to appeal to a wider range of candidates has been featured in the Jul/Aug '23 edition of the Manufacturer.
Our quick wins for increasing the appeal of your job advertisements:
• Remove gender-coded language in job postings such as ‘expert in your field’ or ‘master’ - there are free online tools to help do this
• When including a list of skills and education requirements in a job advert, add a note encouraging applicants to apply if they meet most of the requirements
• Be open about salaries and your sustainability goals and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy
• Use technology to make processes like manual handling less physically taxing
