5 steps which are critical for
Diversity hiring.
This case study demonstrates
the high level steps that were
taken resulting in hiring a
Women leader for a highly
technical role in a male dominant
industry.
In industries such as Oil & Gas or
Mining, the field roles are
dominated by men, but there are
women who also took the field
opportunities and then progressed
in their career.
The trick is to find them, but
before getting into the details,
one of the issues in diversity
hiring is to ensure that
everyone feels included.
Since our client had several
male leaders, they wanted to
evaluate if there are women
leaders who they could
interview.
The approach that worked well
was to treat everyone the same
and give everyone a chance to
represent themselves and bring
new ideas to grow that particular
division.
The first step in a successful diversity
oriented search is to ensure that
everyone gets a chance: Internal
leaders, external leaders, men and
women. Just because it is difficult to
find does not mean the team takes the
easy route.
Some of the key strategies
include: 1. A thorough Market Map
highlighting which companies do
similar work, or which companies
have to apply a similar process in
a different industry;
2. One has to go Global
for such searches
3. A proper referral
strategy must be thought
through and implemented;
4. Implement a consistent
system to benchmark all
candidates; 5. Evaluation and
reporting is a must to assure
that the search was done the
right way.
