1 Attracting Diverse Talents Why is it important, and how do we do it? 

2 Let’s Talk Diverse Teams Diversity in teams comes in many shapes and sizes ● Gender ● Age ● Disability ● Thought process ● Culture ● And many more! All of these are important, and they all play a vital role in shaping the team, it’s performance, and overall impact. Let’s look at an example 

3 Employee X Employee X is a software engineer with a hearing impairment. As the company starts developing a new product feature related to “audio attachments”, employee X wonders how they will be able to use it. Implement Idea Revise Propose Listen 

4 So, where can we find Employee X? ● Be aware of your company policies around storing data related to D&I hiring ● Source with the understanding that different talents can be reached via different channels ● Relay D&I related hiring pitfalls to hiring managers ● As covered earlier, diverse talent can mean many different things, avoid using mental labels ● Treat others as you want to be treated, when reaching out to qualified professionals, treat them as such ● Hiring individuals with different backgrounds will improve the team over time Don’t find employee X just for the sake of it Employee X comes in infinite shapes and sizes 

5 How to Approach Sourcing, Focused on D&I It’s best to source using a variety of different “creative” tactics. Let’s avoid becoming dependent on a single channel. Using a variety of channels, brings a variety of talent. Wow! Our hires are contributing such unique ideas! A brings us a steady source of hires! Channel A A B C D 

6 Conclusion ● To find and attract diverse talent, you must also have diverse sourcing channels ● Business SNS is great, but having dedicated time to focus on creative sourcing is better ● D&I hiring is a long term initiative. It is not something to do just to hit a quota.
