Do these type of demands fill you with dread because your usual recruitment strategies are simply not working? "Don't just sent me white males, I want more diverse candidates. I don't care how you do it, just get it done!" You understand why diversity is good for your business but you've simply not figured out how to actually recuit more diversely. I understand how you feel. As the HR team, it can feel like you are faced with an impossible task. You know, it's not a simple excercise finding diverse candidates. There are many moving parts to finding them and sometimes you are stuck in trying tofigure what actual steps you should be taking. But your boss doesn't want to hear that. Instead you are expected to make the magic happen. At any cost. I understand the challenge you face and I know that there are tips that we can share with you to help you get the results you want. This workshop is a collaborateive one where three speakers will be sharing their expertise on how to create a diverse recruitment strategy. Guest Speaker (1) Kirsty Styles - Head of Skills and Talent, Tech North Kirsty Styles has just finished working as a technology journalist, editor, podcaster and campaigner in East London. Having made ‘tech for good’ and other social and economic issues a focus of her work in tech, she recently headed back home to head up the talent and skills programme for Tech North. It’s her job to make people realise that the North has lots of great technology companies and thousands of great digital jobs - we just need people to do them!  Before this, she was a B2B tech editor at the New Statesman, and was previously a reporter at The Next Web and editor at Tech City News. Kirsty also created and presented the New Economics Foundation’s Weekly Economics Podcast, which was featured in The Observer and has received hundreds of thousands of listens.  She speaks about everything from the future of work to infrastructure, political utopias and the future of the media, and has done just that at events like Thinking Digital Women, FutureFest, Slush and the Battle of Ideas. Guest Speaker (2) Michelle Gyimah, Director - Equality Pays Equality Pays is an HR Consultancy dedicated to helping technology firms create inclusive business cultures. Technology companies are at a tipping point where they can no longer ignore the reasons why women leave tech or never enter the industry in the first place. It’s time for technology firms to address these issues and develop new innovative working practices to support women in the technology industry. Guest Speaker (3) Nancy Evbuomwan - Director, Hacktopia It is challenging for recruiters or hiring managers to draw a conclusion about a candidate based on what is written on their cv. At Hacktopia we understand that this challenge often results to a painful and exhausting hiring process. We want to solve that painful and exhausting process by providing recruiters and hiring managers with information about a candidates work. Information which is easily accessible at a simple request before you even pick up the phone to call.  This allows us to enable recruiters and hiring managers to insight of a candidates true ability beyond what is written on their cv. Our aim is to fix the way we hire while saving you time and money. Nancy will be sharing with you how hackathons can be used as a new innovative recruitment tool and demonstrating how Hacktopia could benefit your business. *PLACES ARE LIMITED SO BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.* What will I learn?
