Historically, companies have drafted press releases and propped up Diversity and Inclusion people to suggest that they care about diversity and inclusion. We know that, in large part, this has been performative at best and window dressing at worst.
In the latest HRchat episode, I chat with Torin Ellis, Principal at The Torin Ellis Brand. Torin is a Human Capital Strategist, focused on the art of recruiting diverse talent using various creative methods. Torin has an accomplished background that includes 17 years of human capital efforts, military service, several Board of Director appointments and unwavering spirit of giving back to the community and emerging youth. He is the author of “Rip the Resume: Job Search & Interview Power Prep.” Torin is the host of “Career Mix,” which airs each Sunday on SiriusXM Urban View.
Torin will be a speaker at the July 30th InnovateWork Caribbean virtual event and his session is called ‘Conversation to Commitment’
Listen to the interview to hear Torin’s answers to these questions:
- How has diversity played a critical role in your career?
- You never share job descriptions with candidates. Why is that?
- Times are tough. How can candidates stand out when looking for a job?
- What do you believe are the three mandatory considerations for firms that are serious about diversity and inclusion?
- What does generation Z find important in the recruiting process? What’s different compared with the needs of Millennials?
- What about the role of AI in reducing unconscious bias in the hiring process – is it helping? What can still be improved?
