The Challenge
Is it a pipeline issue as it’s often argued? Are unconscious biases interfering with recruitment decision making? As with most complicated issues, it’s all of the above.

This type of recruiting is relationship-driven vs transactional and requires a different level of recruiting expertise. The companies making the most progress have dedicated recruiting resources whose primary focus is to build diverse talent pipelines.
