Course Description

Finding top candidates is key to a successful business. Having a strategic workforce plan will help you identify where the company needs additional talent to meet its goals. Recruiting a diverse workforce can benefit the company. To support diversity in the recruitment process, you can increase diversity in candidate sourcing. Using the same sources you’ve always used to hire for a new position is tempting, but new channels can help you recruit more diverse talent. In this course, you’ll learn how to conduct a labor market analysis and conquer the interview process.

This course covers the entire interview process, from candidate selection to the onboarding process. You’ll learn about personal and implicit biases and how to mitigate the effects of these biases in interviews. You’ll also learn best practices for creating job descriptions that use gender-neutral and inclusive language. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to prepare for interviews, ask the right questions, and welcome your selected candidates to the company.
