HR in Review 20 – Has Hiring Become More Equitable? with Torin Ellis

An Introduction to this Edition by Show Host, Bill Banham

Many leaders today talk the talk when it comes to making a concerted and collective effort to improve DEI efforts throughout the employee lifecycle – from sourcing and hiring all the way through to succession planning and change management efforts.

But how much has really changed in the past two years? How much time and money is actually being allocated to improving inclusivity and empathy in the workplace? Are we really any closer to equitable hiring practices and a more inclusive world of work?

In this HR in Review episode, I talk with Torin Ellis, Principal at The Torin Ellis Brand.

Torin is a Human Capital Strategist, focused on the art of recruiting diverse talent using various creative methods.

Torin will also be a speaker at DisruptHR London at the Royal Institution in Mayfair on July 6th.

Questions Include:

• How has diversity played a critical role in your career?
• You and I recorded an interview for the HRchat podcast back in July 2020 – about six weeks after the murder of George Floyd. What’s changed since then? Both in wider society and in the ways we recruit?
• Why do you believe leaders in the US and elsewhere are not delivering on DEI commitments and investments?
• Any tips to help candidates stand out when looking for a job? How can candidates push recruiters to work harder for them?
• What about employers? During this Great Resignation, what can recruiters do to help companies project their employer brand in the right places and attract high-quality talent?
• Now let’s chat about your session at DisruptHR London. Take a couple of minutes and offer a preview of what to expect.
