How To Build The Right Diversity Recruiting Strategy - WalkWater Talent Advisors

In the times of today, diversity is required within an organization for the best results. But, diversity is a long journey, and focusing on diversity recruitment can help build an inclusive and equitable team that fosters belonging. In order to have a team of diverse candidates, what’s needed is a “diversity recruiting strategy” that defines the goals, action items, and the people responsible, focused to increase diversity in a company, while also tracking successes and failures so that the team can consistently grow and learn. By building such a strategy that everyone on the team can see, understand, and be held accountable for, results will certainly be seen. You’ll have to invest a good amount of time and effort into your strategy, which is your first step to making your values and company culture clear. After all, you want to build the right team that is diverse and inclusive.


  • The first step for building the right strategy is analyzing what you’re currently doing, even if you’re doing something that’s not too good to be called successful. To identify this, you’ll have to ask a few questions, such as asking your team how they feel you are doing regarding diversity recruiting, or if they feel like the company is inclusive, etc. If a few, or even one, of the team members feel like they don’t feel psychologically safe, you’ll have to consider what you should do.
  • Remember, diversity is something different for every team. So, what you’re doing will not match what another is doing. You can thus bring in an expert consultant to help define your particular goals in a better way to make sure that they stick. The goals may include defining diversity, increasing diverse candidates, growing diverse hires, and increasing promotion of diverse team members to leadership roles.
  • With diversity defined, and goals identified, you are now ready to define roles and actions for each candidate. So, move towards defining distinct roles and actions items to particular people, so as to create a system of accountability, and thus increase the chances of success.
  • Making decisions without data results can result in unstable decisions, which you certainly don’t want. So, you’ll have to break down your goals into KPIs that can help you measure the right data, gathering it and adjusting it as required. Some data sets can include identifying the candidates that are sourced, interviewed, or lost in the journey.
  • One other important aspect about a diversity recruiting strategy is that it is an ever-changing process. So, if you think you’ve done it successfully once and for all, so there’s nothing to worry about in the future, you’re wrong. You’ll have to keep adjusting and testing new theories every now and then, to strive to be better.

Hence, with a diversity recruiting strategy, you’ll be able to create an entirely new culture and environment at work. It may seem overwhelming to tackle, but the results are worth it. So, you can always hire WalkWater Talent Advisors, one of the best recruitment companies in India, to help overcome the challenges and recruit the best in the least possible time.
