Our Partner: Academic Medical Center With an International Reputation for Quality Medical Care & Research
The Challenge
Our long-term partner continues to pursue a goal of building a diverse workforce that closely aligns with their local patient population. In 2020, our partner renewed its effort to increase the diversity of its leadership team.
Our Solution
Our partner asked our team to help implement a DEI recruitment plan to help strengthen diversity hiring. We worked with our partner to understand their overall diversity goals, then developed a specific plan to diversify their leadership team. Some key implementations that helped us to recruit a diverse slate of candidates included:
- Updated intake calls with hiring managers to encourage conversations around inclusivity/diversity hiring
- Launching a behavioral interview/implicit bias training for all interviewers
- Community partnerships to deepen our DEI relationships
- AIRS Diversity Recruiter Certification
Our Results
By implementing several DEI-focused recruitment tactics, our partner increased diversity hires by more than 40%+ over two years.
