Described as “ the most transformative function within an organization ” by the renowned Pat Wadors , leadership is always a top priority in today’s workplace. Strong leaders define vision and culture – they connect every stage of the employee lifecycle, develop talent, and drive results. They are the linchpin of success. However, according to research conducted by Gallup , as many as 50% of employees have left their job to get away from a manager at some point in their careers.

The talent and skills shortage is drastically changing the landscape of work. With a dearth of viable external candidates, these conditions are encouraging a movement to look inwards. Internal mobility is being regarded as one of the crucial keys for generating success, driving the business forward, and future-proofing your operations. But there’s a catch – very few organizations understand how to do this process well.

Since the 1950s, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a topic of more interest to academics and science fiction fans than businesses. But, in the last few years, we’ve seen the development of numerous practical applications for AI technologies, first with machine learning and deep learning, and in the last year with generative AI systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.

When we think about elevating our approach to inclusive hiring, our minds may drift to improving the language in job descriptions or trying to foster a candidate experience that caters to all. And while these are hugely important elements, there’s something else to consider when it comes to creating a solid foundation – employer branding. In a sea of talent scarcity and skills shortages, it’s never been more important to ensure that your employer brand speaks to the candidates you are trying to

Writing a job description is perhaps the single most important piece of copy that a recruiter or hiring manager has control over. In a short space of text, you need to be able to sell a role, promote your organization, ignite interest, and, crucially, inspire the best talent to apply. In reality, however, many job descriptions fall far short of this ideal, particularly when it comes to inclusivity.

DEI is often touted as a major concern for organizations. And with good reason – society is becoming less and less tolerant of companies who don’t live and breathe these ideals. Talent will actively select equitable workplaces where they can thrive. And customers, too, quickly turn their backs on organizations that aren’t striving for inclusivity.

Equity is often regarded as the overlooked middle child in the DEI family. Organizations understand why diversity of thought, experience, and background is important and they strive to make workplaces safe and beacons of inclusion for employees. But when it comes to the tangible qualities of equity, we struggle. We lump the term in with the rest and tend to shy away from tackling it – yet, what if it’s actually the most important factor for driving real change?

Trying to narrow down candidates for a role can be a difficult task for any recruiter. Using Boolean search writing can help you save time and improve the quality and specificity of candidates from the potential pool. Boolean search is based on the work of prominent British mathematician George Boole. His legacy was Boolean logic, a theory of mathematics in which all variables are either “true” or “false”, or “on” or “off”.
