According to HiBob, 31% of their customers have reported that they struggle to hire candidates from underrepresented groups. The number is likely to be much higher than that, as most companies won't acknowledge or realise they have a problem right away, if at all. We also know that one of the leading causes for a lack of diversity when hiring is due to human biases when sourcing and interviewing candidates.
I've joined Thrive to help companies source more qualified, pre-vetted candidates at the top of the funnel using our psychometric and skills-based assessments (which we also provide for you to use during your interview process and for your existing employees, to build personalised and useful performance and development plans - btw).
How do these assessments help to remove bias? They provide a consistent and objective overview of your candidates' personality, aptitude and domain knowledge, benchmarked against millions of other profiles, to accurately predict the likelihood of success within your business and the specific role.
This actually WIDENS your talent pool, because you're less likely to reject candidates based purely on what they have written on a CV, or because they aren't expert interviewers.
To my fellow TAs and HRs, does this resonate? Do you want to adopt a more data-backed, scientific approach to your hiring processes? If so, send me a message/DM for more info - zumar@thrivetech.co
Sending a warm welcome to our two new starters, Anya Bashkirova, our new Business Psychologist, and Zumar Dean, our new Head of Thrive Hire!
The two have already made a huge impact on Thrive, and we can't wait to see what they're going to do next. 🤩
