Why Diversity is so Hard to Get Right When Hiring New Talent

Shane Bernstein - Apr 27, 2020

Diversity and inclusion (DNI) in today’s business is a necessity to empower growth, change, and continuous innovation. Unfortunately, companies don’t execute DNI very well.  There’s a myriad of reasons for the lack of execution, but the primary reason is bias.

All Humans are Bias

​

While some humans are knowingly biased in some capacity, most are unknowingly bias.  Identifying and trying to correct those biases is a losing battle.  It’s human nature.

​

Leveraging AI to Increase Diversity and Inclusion

​

In theory, it makes perfect sense.  Unfortunately at this time, AI technology is not an exact science. To achieve DNI objectives, AI is not where it needs to be to strike a non-bias balance in the recruitment process.  Humans still seem to be stronger.

Achieving a Consistent DNI Outcome

​

We’ve done a lot of testing in this area, and the only way we’ve successfully measured consistent results is integrating DNI targets into the platform architecture.  By design, we aim to achieve 50% DNI across all results, with a minimum of 25%.
