diverse hiring
Inclusive talent acquisition
Diverse hiring refers to recruitment practices that actively seek candidates from varied backgrounds—different races, genders, ages, abilities, or experiences.
The goal is building a workforce that reflects broader society rather than drawing from a narrow pool.
Critics sometimes use the phrase dismissively to suggest that qualifications are being sacrificed: They only got the job through diverse hiring.
