Attracting diverse talent: Innovative strategies to enhance recruitment

For Talent Acquisition managers, implementing innovative recruitment strategies is key to attracting diverse talent. Beyond traditional job boards, leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok can help organisations engage with a broader array of potential candidates from underrepresented communities. In addition, building meaningful, long-term relationships with schools and universities plays a crucial role in nurturing early talent and ensuring diverse pipelines for the future. These combined approaches help organisations build a workforce that reflects varied perspectives and experiences, driving creativity and informed decision-making.

This exclusive breakfast session will explore what effective recruitment and diversity initiatives look like, highlighting the importance of grassroots partnerships with educational institutions and data-driven recruitment strategies to improve diversity outcomes.

What’s being discussed:

• The importance of effective recruitment techniques and diversity initiatives.
• Building and maintaining grassroots relationships with schools and universities to foster early talent development.
• The role of social media in reaching diverse candidate pools and how influencers impact career decision-making.
• How content creation and collaboration with micro-influencers can help you tap into undiscovered talent pools.
• …and much more!
