Hey, quick question: are you in Sydney on the 31st October 2024? Are you free to meet (me) at 5.30 pm AES at 1 Martin Place at the LinkedIn Offices? Might even give you some treats for Halloween if you like? Have you got 10 dollars to spend towards learning more about diversity within a recruitment process? This is key for your learning and development v's this modern working world. Curious?

4,761 jobs! When one of the Jobs for Humanity volunteers conducted a quick search using the keywords 'diversity and inclusion' on LinkedIn Jobs, they found 4,761 positions in Australia. A similar search on SEEK today returned 476 job listings. These two platforms are among the most widely used job advertising portals in Australia. This tells us that diversity remains a significant focus for businesses, even though the narrative that was prominent in 2021 and 2022 has somewhat 'died down'. There are welcoming employers out there, particularly larger organisations. Perhaps it's because they have bigger budgets and more roles to fill, so candidate experience, including diverse candidates in shortlists and offers, is important to them. Is your business one of those welcoming employers? Would you display a badge on your website to show it? Is there a difference in what can be done in a start up, scale up or an established large organisation? If you’d like to learn more about this, contribute to the discussions or simply come to show your support, and are based in Sydney, come along to our workshop on Halloween, 31 October 2024. Registration details are below! We have partnered with the wonderful team SydRecMeetup to put on this event and are lucky to have LinkedIn hosting us. We would LOVE to see you there. Thanks to these gems for putting up their hand to run the session on the day!

👋🏽Job Seekers in Sydney, Australia—We Want to Hear From You! If you're looking for work or navigating the job search, we invite you to share your experiences with us at our in-person meet-up on October 31st in Sydney at the LinkedIn Offices. Your insights, struggles, and feedback are incredibly valuable. What’s on Your Mind When You See "We Are Hiring"? Do you see: ▶ A chance to grow? ▶ Financial stability? ▶ A collaborative environment? ▶ A fresh start with an amazing team? But what happens when you apply? We often hear about the importance of “candidate experience,” in recruitment circles, but what does that mean for you? Especially if you come from one of these communities: 👉 Individuals who are Blind or Low Vision 👉 Deaf or Hard of Hearing 👉 Refugees or Asylum Seekers 👉 Neurodivergent individuals 👉 Single Parents 👉 LGBTQ+ community members For many, the process can be daunting—some make it to the interview, while others don’t. In the end, only one person lands the role. We want to learn from your journey—what works, what doesn’t, and how we can make the process better for everyone. Let’s shape a more inclusive recruitment experience together. Join us and share your story in person on October 31st 2024, 5.30 pm at 1 Martin Place, LinkedIn Sydney Please - register here> https://lnkd.in/gRsTnNhn We can't wait to meet you! Thank you to our host LinkedIn Thank you for the support from TA industry friends SydRecMeetup Sharlene Roebuck Mark Mansour Simon Townsend Shout out to the Jobs for Humanity tribe Michael Delaney (He/Him) 🚀 Ankit Sharma Pooja Alpha Philip Jo Ioannidis 🧬

All Recruiters and hiring managers with ‘OPEN VACANCIES’, this one's for you. Do you want to cast a wider net to increase your candidate pipeline? The answer is yes, right? That unfilled role you have to find the right ‘talent for’ causes angst until you get to a shortlist! Whilst you are getting to that magic shortlist how are you ensuring the best candidate experience too? Now what if we were to add the word ‘diversity’ to this question, would you know how to ensure your hiring practices do focus on candidates from ALL types of backgrounds? What about these groups? 💙Blind or Low sight individuals 💙Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals 💙Refugees / Asylum Seekers 💙Neurodivergent individuals 💙Single Parents 💙LGBTQ+ community members 💙Ethnic minorities /Black leaders We can help you answer that. Jobs for Humanity are teaming up with SydRecMeetup to bring some learnings into the TA and recruitment sector about what it takes to elevate candidate experience by embracing diversity. This session will enable the attendees to walk away with some tangible things to start embedding into their CX straight away.

Returning citizens' impact on the economy took the top spot in the Financial Times. With more than 150 million fully capable people who went through the justice system among whom half are unemployed, there is a lot of room to fill job openings, right here, at home. The main reason for the unemployment rate is stigma, fear, and judgement by hiring teams who haven't been educated on how to be inclusive of them or how to properly read a background check. Two extraordinary example of companies who do it right are Redemption Roasters and Checkr, Inc.. They've been expanding extraordinarily in part due to their inclusive mission and vision.

Does competition exist in the DE&I space? Not in our lexicon. Bridge of Hope Careers and Jobs for Humanity are joining forces. Like us, Bridge of Hope's teams come from the same under-represented communities we serve (neurodivergent, returning citizens, and more). They serve 75,000 job seekers in London. Together we're supporting close to 700,000 job seekers worldwide as well as over 60 blue chimp companies to meaningfully increase their social impact: - Hire from new diverse talent pools - Train their hiring teams on inclusive hiring processes

💙 Not long now before our next meet up! When: 28th August 2024 Time: 5.45 pm Who's this for? Anyone involved in hiring AND anyone seeking a role across the areas Jobs for Humanity supports. 🔹 See you there if you are in Melbourne. 🔹 https://lnkd.in/g3r-DYZ9

It's been a couple months or so since our meet up over in Melbourne, Australia as we transitioned from 🍁 Autumn to Winter ❄ . So, what is the state of play when it comes to diversity in the workplace? According to an article written in 2023 for Harvard Business Review,there are 4 freedoms at work needed for people to flourish no matter what your background is. These freedoms, are a way to truly engage each and every employee, so they feel their workplace is safe and welcoming - the basic foundations to be their best selves. When employees are their best selves, this is when they do their best work. When they do their best work, they feel productive, happy and add value. Here are the freedoms: 💙 The freedom to be authentic 💙 The freedom to grow 💙 The freedom to step back, and 💙 The freedom to fail Granting 'freedom' in all 4 forms, benefits all as well as the business itself. Agree? If you are in Melbourne pop along to our next meet up where we we will discuss this topic. We look forward to seeing you there. https://lnkd.in/g3r-DYZ9
