What qualifications are necessary for this job?
Sometimes employers have processes in place that exclude many qualified workers. For instance, if Canadian experience and education are a requirement, many immigrants are automatically excluded from consideration.
It may be worth your while to take some time to ensure you are:
- Sourcing from a wide pool of applicants;
- Assessing job criteria to make sure some groups are not excluded;
- Providing interviewers with the skills they need to be culturally aware during interviews;
- Clearly identifying the competencies required for a job;
- Using recruitment practices that can focus on assessing those competencies.
