"You make what you measure." 📏 When it comes to hiring a more diverse team, setting clear goals and measuring progress is key. In this clip, Anvisha Pai of Dover emphasizes that it's only by actually tracking metrics (like the percentage of female applicants) and making it a real priority to increase diversity, that companies can drive tangible change. This approach requires accountability and strategic planning, meaning you'll need buy-in from top-level executives. Clinton Kelly of ioPredict, Inc. goes on later in the clip to underscore the importance of aligning hiring practices with the actual requirements of the job from day one. Instead of asking overly complex questions or imposing unnecessary technical tests, focus on the essentials. By identifying the core requirements of the role and tailoring the hiring process to meet it, companies can create a fair and effective recruitment process.

It’s Take Your Dog to Work Day! 🐕 Why allow dogs at work? A study found a pet-friendly office environment would convince 49% of the respondents to accept a job offer. Of course, working from home is the ultimate pet-friendly workplace. That’s what we’ve opted for at CoderPad (although we also have an office in Montpellier where people can come when they want. With or without their dogs). Alice, our Head of Content Marketing, lives a little far from Montpellier so instead she takes Wendy (see photo below) to her coworking space. Wendy is an enthusiastic and motivating colleague. Do you have a furry friend keeping you company while you work? We'd love to see a photo! #WorkLifeBalance #RemoteWorkPerks #DogFriendlyOffice

While most candidates respect the integrity of technical assessments, a small number of applicants will always seek to get ahead in the hiring process through deceptive means.   Whether they copy code from the internet or hide a more knowledgeable friend in the room, candidates who want to cheat will cheat for a variety of reasons.   So, what do you think is the best way to ensure the integrity of your assessment process?

Communication has to be more than just a buzzword in your hiring process. Think about it: candidates invest their time, energy, and lives into their job search. So, it's only fair to ensure clear, two-way communication throughout. Transparency about roles, processes, salaries, benefits, and remote work policies are non-negotiables. But here's the kicker: honesty is key. Don't be tempted to lure candidates with false promises of remote work, for example, if it's not the reality. Pablo Portillo of TELUS International and Nathalie Figuière of CoderPad give their thoughts on this in the video below. #Hiring #Transparency #TechRecruiting
