A skills-based approach to hiring can increase retention by up to 65% and improve staff performance. Reduce bias to improve inclusivity and equity in your hiring process. Join us to learn how to attract the right candidates based on their skills and not proxy.

• How to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion while reducing bias in your hiring process
• Source and recruit the right talent that you’re struggling to find
SESSION 2 – Wednesday, August 11 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
SKILLFUL® Talent Series 102: Candidate Evaluation
People are crucial for a company’s success. By emphasizing a candidates’ skills in an interview and through skill assessments you’ll be able to double the effectiveness of your interview process and choose the candidate most likely to succeed.

SESSION 3 – Wednesday, August 18 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
SKILLFUL® Talent Series 103: Selection and Onboarding
In order to accomplish hiring goals, hiring managers are tempted to select and onboard new hires as fast as possible. This approach often results in a “sink or swim mentality for onboarding. All too often, organizations rely on outdated checklists to onboard new employees. These processes use a one-size-fits-all approach and make it more difficult for new hires to get up to speed.
In this session, you will learn:
• Create guidelines for your selection process to identify and reduce bias
• Select the best candidate based on their skills
• Identify areas of development for new employees to inform onboarding
• Onboard your new hire and equip them with the tools and skills they need to succeed
SESSION 4 – Wednesday, August 25 | 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

To fill your positions, make sure you’re not overlooking the great candidates already on your staff! Identify what skills your employees have and what they need to develop.
In this session, you will learn how to:
• Identify what skills your new hire has, and what skills they need
• Set up a training program to upskill new and current employees
• Create transparent and inclusive advancement opportunities for employees
