Participating in HireReach has been invaluable in transforming our recruiting process. We have been able to centralize our recruiting process and tackle hiring problems with data instead of feelings. Our organization has a better understanding of what makes a hire a good hire, and how to back that up with data. We see this as a way to create an influx of talent that will help propel Cascade Engineering to future success.
The most valuable part of participating in HireReach was learning about the data behind evidence-based selection. This is an innovation that can transform your hiring process. It was incredibly valuable to have a team of experts help us update a hiring process to be consistent, equitable, and legally defensible. By participating in HireReach, the City of Grand Rapids has been able to bring accessibility to the civil service process. We have removed barriers and we are able to take a more holistic view of each candidate and we can screen qualified candidates into the process – rather than screening them out.
Hearing from a credible third-party organization convinced us we needed a change within our organization. It really added momentum to our efforts and helped our team quickly mature and grow in understanding.
We appreciated the intellectual and practical introduction to tools and techniques to reduce hiring bias. We also valued the partnership with other employers in our cohort, along with the guidance we received from the HireReach team. This has been incredibly helpful as we navigate implementing what we learned. They gave us a method to improve quality and metrics in the critical areas of recruiting and hiring. The process helped us remove barriers and broadened our reach to further diversity our faculty and staff.
Making improvements to our hiring process was on the radar, but we were unsure how to find the time and resources to start. Being a part of HireReach gave us structured time to work on improvement. It explained the research, offered practical action steps, and provided individual support to make real progress. Our organization is looking for ways to show up as an actively anti-racist organization. Moving toward evidence-based selection is giving us an avenue to make real change in the way we recruit and hire. HireReach provided a foundation for making our organization diverse and for ensuring our hiring practices give opportunity to all.
All of the resources were excellent. We learned from model examples but were encouraged to create a system that would fit our organization. We're very excited to use JOFI assessments in our process. We see the value in helping GRCC to improve the quality of hire, reduce turnover and increase our workforce diversity. We have a strong business case, because it's always been our goal to hire a diverse workforce to serve our student population. And we have strong support from our President and Executive Leadership. These create a recipe for success.
