Our team consists of 75 employees, but we are close to a 50:50 gender split and represent 18 different nationalities (with 40% of our employees being non-Swedes).

From day 1, we knew that we wanted to invest in diversity and inclusion.
It helped us to not only hire top performers without the unconscious bias, but it also allowed us to build a strong, diverse team, that delivers amazing results every day. 👩🏼👩🏽🧑🏻‍🦱🧑🏽‍🦱

Diverse teams are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors, and according to People Management, and are 70% more likely to capture new markets. 💪

On top of that, according to Deloitte, 74% of younger employees believe their company is more innovative when it has a culture of inclusion, and 47% actively look for DE&I initiatives when sizing up potential employers. 😳

But where can you start and how to build a workplace that's embracing diversity? 🤔

We invited over Riley, the People and Talent Lead at , to be our next podcast guest and unpack her best tips and actions for cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Alicia has a broad background within people and talent where she's worked in recruitment as a craft but also headed the people role in several startups and scaleups. She unpacks her tips and actions for cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Key takeaways:
✅ The value of anonymising applications and how to screen applications fairly
✅ Step-by-step to making your hiring process more inclusive
✅ Common mistakes to avoid when hiring diverse candidates
✅ Tips and tricks on diversity and sourcing

How Winningtemp transformed their recruitment and increased candidate engagement?

Winningtemp is a fast-growing company with multiple ongoing recruitments.
The only thing that was missing, was a clear roadmap for the recruitment process, to make finding hidden gems even easier. 💎

We're happy to host Linn in our upcoming webinar, where we will learn how Winningtemp transformed its recruitment process from start to finish, improving candidate engagement and quality of hires. ⭐

We will discuss:
🚀 What Winngintemp's recruitment process looks like today

How can you hire and retain top engineers? 📚

Only 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟬 engineers are unemployed and 50% of all software developers plan on switching jobs in the next year.

Hiring the best engineers is critical for the success of most companies today, but the talent pool remains small. ❌

That leads to making hiring decisions based on fear of losing out, rather than the certainty, that the candidate has the right skills and potential to excel in the role.

Is there a way to assess engineering skills in an accurate way and broaden your candidate pool?

We invited Anton Fenske , the Founder and CEO of coding assessment platform DevSkills (acquired by Alva Labs) ,Lisa Sindsjö Grahn, avid tech recruiter and Talent Acquisition Manager at Alva Labs, and Andreas Gabrielsson, CTO at Alva Labs and the brain behind our own tech recruitment process to ask for their insights.

We will talk about:
💯 How you can find hidden gems in a limited talent pool and keep them engaged
👔 What is crucial to be included in your tech recruitment process, and what mistakes you need to avoid
📝 How the right coding tests can spot top talent, and how you can ensure they're really measuring what matters

What is 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 biggest struggle when looking for top engineers?

Hiring the wrong candidate can cost you around £114,000 per employee.

On top of that, new research from Thomas International reveals that up to 60% of new hires fail globally.🌍

At the same time, 82% of hiring managers said they saw the warning signs already in the interview process.😔

Finding those difference makers who will contribute to building a strong, effective team is a challenge.

Especially now, with the economic slowdown, when companies have to work with limited resources and find the best candidates even more effectively. 🗒

The good news is that 63% of HR decision-makers want to modernise the way they approach recruitment as they admit that it needs to be more dynamic.

How can you effectively modernise your hiring process?

Almost 40% of hiring managers cited psychometric assessments as the best solution, as they are a good way of measuring a candidate's potential and assessing their skills.

A hiring process consisting of psychometric assessments, structured interviews, and case studies will maximise your chances of finding the right candidate. 🚀

What are your thoughts on that?🙋🏻‍♀️

Why is HR critical in securing effective leadership development?

Even though 83% of companies recognise the importance of developing leaders at every level of the company, only 5% of businesses have implemented leadership development programs 🧐

Investing in leadership is crucial for driving employee engagement - 79% of employees quit due to a lack of appreciation.

On the other hand, companies with motivated employees are 22% more profitable. 🌟

Are your leaders engaged? Are they learning, growing, and thriving? What tools and knowledge do they need to succeed and keep your employees motivated? 🚀

For this discussion, we will be joined by Adrianne Edblad, a Senior HR Specialist at tech consultancy firm Knightec.
Adrianne will share her expertise from leadership development at Knightec and discuss why leadership development requires a broader understanding of the organisation and its challenges—which HR is best positioned to teach.

🌟 What it takes to be a successful leader today, and why leadership needs to include both the business and people perspective
🌍 Why HR needs to be closer to the business, and how to equip HR to best support leadership development
🗒 What you can do today to improve your leadership development efforts
