Executive recruiter Peter Gray has always struggled with a conundrum:
Why is there so much talk about these urgent issues, yet so little actual progress diversifying hiring outcomes?
After years at recruiting firms, Peter launched his own firm with a mission to recruit social impact leaders and fight bias in hiring. Hiring is rife with bias. And it’s not just the big bad isms and phobias. There are dimensions of bias unique to hiring that go unseen and unnamed. In this event, Peter names these dimensions of bias in hiring, and discusses what we can do to counter them and get more diverse hiring outcomes.
