Client Overview: A leading financial services firm with a commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
Challenge: The firm aimed to increase diversity within their workforce but found their traditional hiring methods were not yielding a diverse candidate pool.
Solution: I developed a diversity-focused pre-screening strategy that included blind resume reviews and standardized assessments to mitigate unconscious bias. I also sourced candidates from diverse job boards and professional networks.
Results: The client saw a 25% increase in the diversity of their candidate pool and successfully hired 15 new employees from underrepresented backgrounds within three months. This initiative not only enhanced the firm’s inclusivity but also brought in varied perspectives that enriched team dynamics and innovation.
