Oops! I'm Biased

In this episode, Linda Hermanspann, Sr Recruiter at HashiCorp, shares her learnings about unbiased recruitment. Topics that she covers are bias awareness trainings, hiring manager or interview trainings, how HashCorp approaches diversity metrics and how the company uses it aside from targets and analysis of the status quo, why stakeholder management is so tricky in talent acquisition and how to best approach it. Throughout the episode, Linda shares best practices, processes and tools that have been instrumental in HashiCorps implementation of unbiased recruitment.
