Serious question. Is DEI a trend? Seems like this has been happening for years now on and off.

This does not sound like a DEI initiative, they are just looking for people with transferable skills as opposed to direct experience. However, to respond to your question, DEI should not be a trend in my opinion. Diverse people provide varied prospectives and most businesses serve a variety of customers. Not to get into politics, but the reversal of historical laws has made where “everyone has an equal playing field” so now it seems like it is going to be a thing of the past. With so many concious and unconscious biases and agressions out there, it makes me sad that diverse populations may see a dip in their employment options now.

Make a concerted effort to recruit directly at non-target schools.

If you're in the USA, this means going to local universities and NOT the flagship state/private schools. (You can recruit at the flagship, but if you want diverse talent go to the non-target local one as well)

I love this. You need proper onboarding snd understand what you will need. Diversify the age group, gender, location and past experience. Without knowing the company or depart, Im limited to this suggestion

I have over 5 years of experience as a Human Resources Coordinator, I can assist your team with on-boarding and managing your HRIS. Thank you
