July Education Meeting: Navigating the Path to Diversity in Hiring
July 10, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
Hello RNG!
I’m so excited to share this upcoming meeting info with you! I know that for some, attending a meeting in the morning regardless of which side of the bay we’re on can be challenging. For July we’re going to try something different. Our next meeting is Wednesday, July 10th @ 9am. This will be a virtual meeting, that you can attend from anywhere as long as you have internet access. Because we’ve had a lot of interest in the topic of unconscious bias in hiring, we’ve procured an excellent speaker to deliver a webinar designed to help you navigate the path to diversity in hiring. Our speaker/host, Melissa Dobbins, will be delivering an actionable, step-by-step plan to achieving a diverse and inclusive hiring program. Additionally, you can earn SHRM credits for attending!
During this webinar, we will explore the rich landscape of hiring and how to blaze a trail to an unbiased, diverse program: from communication and candidate experience, to qualifications, candidate evaluations, assessments, and finally candidate selection. We will define goals, tactics and techniques, along with insights on how to effect change within your organizations.

About Melissa Dobbins:
In 2016, Melissa Dobbins formed a company to remove bias from hiring by shifting the focus from resumes to qualifications.
Removing bias from hiring does more than engaging a wider candidate pool in today’s fierce competition for talent; it drives diversity,
efficiency, and compliance. Too many companies attempt to tackle these issues separately, but while bias remains in the selection process, diversity and compliance challenges will persist. Even worse, companies are turning to technology for the ‘easy solution’ just to automate existing biases.
Ms. Dobbins’ company, career.place, tackles bias and the resulting diversity, compliance, and efficiency challenges by removing bias-laden resumes and replacing them with a solution that combines the best of technology and human touch to objectively measure candidate qualifications. Candidates remain anonymous, enabling fair evaluation and comparison without names, gender, ethnicity, age, or other bias-triggering information.
