From a well-known consultant and speaker, a guide to identifying the pain points along the hiring and talent-development process, where bias keeps managers and recruiters from making better decisions
 
More than ever, companies are scrambling to diversity their workplaces.   But hiring managers, HR departments, and recruiters remain largely in the dark how to do this.   
 
The Equity Edge lays out the hurdles that face diverse groups of job seekers and employees. At each stage of the hiring and retaining process—finding, attracting, engaging, selecting, and developing talent—managers need to challenge their idea of who is qualified for a job, and potential employees need to know how to navigate the pitfalls of bias. 
  
Readers will learn about: 
  

• The concept of “life events biases” we can have, from pedigree bias to competitor bias and professionalism bias 

• The importance of having an employment brand that is separate from your corporate brand 

• How to take into account a person’s Lived Experience Quotient (LEQ), the diverse knowledge, skills, and abilities that they’ve gained throughout their lifetime 

• How to move from attempting to be bias free (impossible) to a more pragmatic bias-aware model   
  This book helps experts, leaders, recruiters, and job seekers make better decisions as they navigate the employment cycle.
