Webinar Series - Affirmative Action and Beyond

Welcome to the next installment of our webinar series. Today, I’d like to address something that is all the buzz in the HR world and frankly one of my most highly attended topics: Affirmative Action. Well . . . actually, it’s more like Affirmative Action with a twist. I say this because it’s not just a blanketed presentation surrounding AA bylaws, how to be compliant, etc; it’s more of a channeled and automated approach to creating an equal opportunity hiring plan that is efficient, automated, and organized so that in the event you’re ever audited, you’ve got plenty of cushion.

I’m not going to go into too much detail dissecting the guidelines for this process because this isn’t my expertise; my expertise is data and the best ways to manage it. So, my presentation centers around setting up an effective method for attracting Affirmative Action, and most importantly, what to do with your data after it’s been collected. I do this providing both manual and automated routes for tracking in my webinar, but obviously, I tend to favor dumping the spreadsheets and the headaches for an automated approach like ApplicantPro because it’s seamless, easy-to-use, and requires very little time investment to setup. Here are my top two reasons why:

Single Dashboard for Data

Using an applicant tracking system or any hiring software for that matter means that you can easily manage tasks like: web-based job requisition approval, pushing job ads to job boards, collecting applications, collection of screening question, race/gender, etc and you can do it all from one platform. Easy to learn and easy to format.
