Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

DE&I is a considered part of Ink's recruitment methodology

Ink ensures that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are integral to every recruitment process through the following practices.

Inclusive Job Descriptions

Crafting job descriptions with inclusive language to attract a diverse pool of candidates, avoiding biased language that might deter certain groups from applying.

Bias-Free Screening

Implementing blind screening techniques, such as removing identifying information from resumes, to minimise unconscious bias in the initial selection process.

DEI Training

Providing ongoing DEI training for recruiters and hiring managers to recognise and mitigate unconscious bias throughout the recruitment process.

Diverse Interview Panels

Assembling diverse interview panels to bring different perspectives into the evaluation process, which helps identify a wider range of candidate strengths.

Partnerships and Networks

Building partnerships with organisations and networks that support diversity in the sectors we serve, expanding access to a broader range of talented individuals.

Diverse Talent Sourcing

Actively sourcing candidates from a variety of backgrounds, utilising diverse job boards, professional networks, and community organisations to reach underrepresented groups.

Structured Interviews

Using structured interview processes with standardised questions to ensure each candidate is evaluated on the same criteria, reducing bias in candidate assessment.

Candidate Experience

Ensuring a respectful and inclusive candidate experience by being mindful of diverse needs, such as providing accommodations during interviews and being sensitive to cultural differences.

Metrics and Feedback

Regularly reviewing recruitment data to monitor diversity metrics, gather feedback, and identify areas for improvement in our processes to support a more inclusive approach.

Offering support and guidance to candidates from diverse backgrounds throughout the hiring process, ensuring they feel valued and confident in showcasing their unique skills and experiences.
