Marketing Week’s Post

Career paths in this modern world of work are rarely linear: you may even have a few employees on your team that you’d consider “unconventional.” But as more people explore other careers, you may end up evaluating more candidates that don’t fit the traditional profile. Here’s how to recognize top candidates, even if they don’t meet the requirements on paper.

Embrace diversity in hiring by thinking outside the box on candidates. Qualifications can be found in individuals with different trajectories. Create a culture that values diverse experiences and viewpoints. Listen to and appreciate the unique perspectives of diverse employees. This fosters innovation and inclusivity. #diversityandinclusion #hiring #leadership
