Graduate Recruiter’s Disability Café Wednesday 29 th February, 2012.

On 29 February 2012, My Plus Consulting hosted more than 40 delegates for a Graduate Recruiter’s Disability Café focused on how to ensure that recruitment processes weren’t unintentionally excluding talented individuals from working for them. Mary Walshe, Diversity Manager, HSBC, opened the Café by welcoming the delegates and speaking about how HSBC were progressing their disability agenda for both their employees and also for their customers. Helen Cooke, Director of My Plus Consulting, then introduced the topic of inclusive recruitment and unintentional barriers that was going to be the focus of the event. Expert facilitator Helen Chapman of Meeting Magic went on to cover the process by which the café would be facilitated. The delegates were also introduced to Doug Cameron of Grasshopper Design who would be creating a graphic recording of all discussions and conversations. Introduction & Context

Getting Started…. Helen Chapman, the facilitator, started the delegates thinking about the afternoon’s subject by asking them to write down on the white table cloths a word or phrase that answered the following question: When you talk about diversity in graduate recruitment, what are you referring to? Diversity of thought, gender, social mobility and innovation were just some of areas that people talked about in response to this question. Getting started…

Bindi Dholakia, Fairway Group Ltd. Bindi drew upon her expertise in designing inclusive recruitment processes to highlight some of the barriers that exist in recruitment which are not always obvious as being barriers to disabled individuals. Areas that she particularly highlighted included the use of ‘macho’ language, minimum qualification requirements and the impact of someone having additional time. Bindi also talked about how actually making adjustments for candidates can reinforce the unconscious bias of assessors. Our Speakers…

Unintentional barriers Following this presentation the delegates were asked to consider the following question: In what ways might your recruitment process be unintentionally excluding talent? What measures do you need to take to address these? Tables of delegates discussed these questions in evolving rounds of conversations. They were particularly asked to focus on barriers that were deeply inherent in the overall process as opposed to barriers that could be addressed by making one off adjustments for individuals. Our Speakers…

Discussion…..

Stephen Isherwood, Ernst & Young. Stephen Isherwood, Head of Graduate Recruitment for UK and Ireland, talked about the strengths based interview approach that has been introduced to their organisation. Stephen started by saying that they were in the business of selling people, and that they had to have the best people to sell if they were to stay ahead of their competitors. The strengths based approach not only allowed them to better select the most talented individuals for their organisation by allowing them to see more of the real person, it also addressed their desire for more diversity in their organisation. Our Speakers…

Strengths based interviewing. Following this presentation the delegates were again asked to consider a question. The question they were asked was: Having heard Stephen, how could you enhance your interview / assessment process? What could the potential impact be on the diversity of talent that you recruit? Tables of delegates again shared their thoughts on how they would like to change their interview process to ensure that talented individuals were not excluded from progressing through to the offer stage. Our Guest Speakers…
