![[Stage] DeLibra Wesley - Addressing DEI and Unconsious Bias in the Staffing Industry](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/1903194/Secrets_of_Staffing_Success_Album_Art_mqmnet_300x300.jpg)

On Take the Stage, presented by Haley Marketing, we bring you the BEST speakers, coaches, trainers, and strategic partners from across the staffing and recruiting industry every other week. More than your standard interview, each conversation is built off of a specific session or topic these industry thought leaders bring to conferences and audiences around the country.
On this episode, Brad Bialy interviews DeLibra Wesley, founder of National Recruiting Consultants and Women of Color in Staffing. They discuss the importance of incorporating DEI principles into the hiring process and how recruiters can effectively address unconscious bias. DeLibra shares practical advice for staffing firms just starting their DEI journey and highlights the role of technology in enhancing or hindering diversity in recruitment. To address unconscious bias in the hiring process, recruiters can be cautious about the language used in job postings, consider removing non-pertinent information from candidate profiles, and create skill sheets that omit names and gender. They also discuss the biggest challenge for DEI in staffing over the next five to ten years.
Key Takeaways: Staffing firms should be committed to implementing DEI practices and making it a part of their long-term goals and strategies. Job descriptions should be clear, and gender-biased or masculine language should be avoided. Preferred qualifications should be removed from job descriptions to encourage more diverse candidates to apply. Technology can both enhance and hinder diversity in recruitment. While some software can help remove bias from job descriptions, AI can also perpetuate biases if not properly trained. Small staffing firms can start their DEI journey by implementing simple changes such as creating a gender-neutral dress code, building out a parental leave plan, and promoting cultural awareness days. Pay transparency is a crucial aspect of DEI, and organizations should strive to make compensation information visible and equitable.
