Addressing Recruitment Bias
As a recruiter, do you still:
1. Connect with individuals who have activated the LinkedIn #OpenToWork feature?
2. Consider applicants who have experienced layoffs in their careers?

Addressing recruitment bias is crucial for creating a more inclusive hiring process.
Reaching out to #OpenToWork candidates: Yes, I actively engage with candidates who have the #OpenToWork logo. These individuals are often eager and motivated to find new opportunities, and it’s important to support their job search. Plus, it opens up a broader and more diverse talent pool.
Considering applicants who have been laid off: Absolutely, I do proceed with applicants who have faced layoffs. Layoffs can happen for various reasons that are often beyond an individual’s control, such as company restructuring or economic downturns. It’s essential to evaluate a candidate based on their skills, experiences, and potential fit for the role, rather than their employment history alone.
Ultimately, it’s about recognizing the value each candidate brings and ensuring a fair and equitable hiring process.
