What is the Equitable Hiring trend?
Equitable Hiring: Aware of the harmful effect stereotypes have on the recruitment and hiring process, many employers are turning to tactics such as "blind" interviews or internal hiring practices to best utilize the talents of their team. These alternative methods promote a workplace that is not only more diverse, but also more egalitarian in its approach. This is especially important to Millennials raised in an information age wherein connectivity fosters a sense of unity and a deep concern for human rights.
