Best for Colorado Workshop: Tackle the bias in your recruiting process and attract the talent you need
Best for Colorado Workshop: Tackle the bias in your recruiting process and attract the talent you need
May 9, 2019 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
The Alliance Center, 1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202, USA
Register here.
Tackle the bias in your recruiting process and attract the talent you need to succeed ! A Skillful workshop
Hire better, speed up your time to hire, increase retention, and increase candidate diversity by focusing on skills, not pedigree.
If you are a Best for Colorado participant and you have taken the Best for Colorado assessment, this workshop is free for your company! Please contact bestforcolorado@thealliancecenter.org to register.
As a recent article from SHRM notes, the “skills gap fallout lands with HR.”
In order to remain competitive, employers have to innovate fast in order to attract and hire the skilled talent they need. Hiring for pedigree, which rely on assumptions of skill mastery instead of actual skills, cheat you of potentially great talent.
Skills-based practices, on the other hand, help companies hire candidates with exactly what skills and competencies needed to succeed in your positions. In this workshop for HR professionals and others responsible for hiring, you’ll learn how to hire suitable candidates by:
- Focusing your job posting and description on competencies to hire and retain productive candidates
- Broadening your talent pools
- Reducing bias in your hiring process, and
- Developing sourcing and recruiting strategies for your local market
This program is valid for a total of 1.5 PDCs for the SHRM-CP(r) or SHRM-SCP(r).
By registering for this training, you agree to be contacted by The Alliance Center and Skillful.
This workshop is created and managed by Skillful and presented to you by the Best for Colorado program. The Best for Colorado Challenge is a community-led program and awards campaign to inspire, equip, and celebrate businesses that create higher quality jobs, build stronger communities, and preserve a healthier environment through their business operations, products and/or services.
For any questions, please contact abehlouli@thealliancecenter.org.
