New information and resources to support hiring managers

The Attract section in the Manager Toolkit is now redesigned to provide a layout that supports managers in quickly finding the resources and information needed throughout the hiring process. In addition, information and resources have been updated to support the university’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B). 

Hiring managers are expected to provide an exceptional bias-free candidate experience, including informing and educating others participating in the hiring committee to best provide an inclusive candidate experience. 

The newly designed microsite now addresses each phase of the hiring journey:

• Getting Started and Job Descriptions
• Applicant Tracking System
• Finding & Managing Candidates
• Interviewing & Selection
• Offer & Conversion

• Onboarding

New content to support your journey in hiring a diverse and inclusive workforce includes: 

• Information on creating a diverse search committee. 
• Resources on how to hire and interview based on competencies relevant to the job.
• The addition of the DirectEmployers Job Alliance to the list of sites in new job postings automatically post to, which will increase the reach of our job postings to diverse groups. Additionally, a list of diversity job posting sites offers recommendations to hiring teams for further outreach.
• Training and resources to minimize unconscious bias during the hiring process.

• Tip sheets to Optimize Your Job Posting for Diversity and Inclusion and Expand Your Professional Network.
