During my recruitment career, I have led diversity recruitment initiatives and functions for notable technology companies, such as Facebook & LinkedIn. After a 10 year career recruiting for various companies, it was painstakingly obvious that a disconnect in recruitment processes existed between employers, recruiters, and jobseekers. That disconnect existed in the forms of interview biases and skewed diversity recruitment metrics.  Many companies focused on the numbers & meeting quotas. As a Black Woman, I realized that I was part of a system that did not value diverse employees for their skillset,  but rather as a number on a checklist. Without the human connection, companies are inaccurately measuring diversity & inclusion. 

 

As a recruiter, I have always focused on learning about each individual candidate and the value they would add to the company. Determined to make a change, I envisioned a recruitment process that was more intentional. This process led to the emergence of  Go Talent Solutions.
