When searching for new talent in Business Continuity or Resilience roles, are we stuck with antiquated hiring practices of how things have “always” been done or are we using the right techniques to cast a wider nest to attract a slate of diverse and inclusive candidates? Join in a conversation hosted by the BCI USA Chapter's Diversity & Inclusive Collaborative Stream as we talk with experts to identify new ways to seek out new talents and bring fresh perspectives to our industry. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of how to reduce bias in job postings (both in requirements and in the job description itself) and in the recruiting and interviewing process.
