When it comes to DEI, being passive is not enough. It's time to actively stand against discrimination! At SocialTalent, we are inspired by the powerful message our resident inclusion expert, Salma El-Wardany. She highlights the crucial difference between being passive and being active in the fight against discrimination. Instead of just saying, "I'm not sexist" or "I'm not racist," we must call out sexist behavior and be actively anti-racist. It's not enough to have gay friends and stay silent during homophobic incidents. True change requires action. 💪 Salma reminds us all to break the silence, stand up for those being discriminated against, engage in conversations, and listen more than we talk. Change isn't easy, but it is happening. Let’s jump into the fight, help push that boulder down the hill, and always stay active in creating a more inclusive world. 🌍 Listen to Salma here 👇 #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #ActNow #SocialTalent #SalmaElWardany SocialTalent

Using the best version of AI can actually lead to a lower quality of work, but how? A Harvard Business School study, "Falling Asleep at the Wheel," found that high-level AI can lead recruiters to become too reliant on the technology, resulting in a passive approach....not ideal! In contrast, when recruiters use less advanced AI, they anticipate errors and remain more engaged, questioning results and outcomes. 💡 This is a great reminder that while AI can enhance recruiting, the best results come from active human involvement. 🧬 Our CEO, Johnny Campbell, emphasizes the importance of leveraging AI to genuinely improve recruitment processes, but is sick of people just talking about it! 🗣️ Hear more of his thoughts here: https://lnkd.in/grBt3-WB 🧠 How are you benefitting from AI in your role?

Writing is hard... Writing job descriptions is harder... Writing inclusive job descriptions is even harder... Creating a job description is one of the most critical tasks a recruiter or hiring manager undertakes. In just a few lines, you must sell the role, promote your organization, spark interest, and most importantly, attract top talent. ⚖ Crafting job descriptions that draw in a diverse talent pool adds an extra layer of complexity. 🔀 As Andrew MacAskill points out, it’s essential to scrutinise every single line of your job ad to ensure it is inclusive.
