Special shoutout to ​@Najat Andreozzi for inspiring this week's post! Ever heard someone say, “We can’t find diverse talent to fill this role because the talent doesn't exist”?In reality, diverse talent exists in every industry. The challenge isn’t their absence; it’s knowing where and how to find them. With the right sourcing strategies, you can uncover incredible talent that’s often hidden in plain sight. Even just one small tweak to your filters can make a big difference when diversifying your talent pool. Here are three practical ways to make your pipeline more inclusive: 🎓 Filter for Graduates of MSIs (Minority Serving Institutions)Use the Schools filter to find graduates from HBCUs, HSIs, and Tribal Colleges to tap into diverse academic talent. 👩‍💻 Expand Your Boolean StringsInclude organizations dedicated to uplifting diverse voices in your Boolean searches. For example, for a tech role, you could use something like:("Women Who Code" OR "AnitaB.org" OR TechLadies) AND (engine

For the final spooky post of the season, I thought we could share some scary stories with one another. Join me around our campfire and share: what is the most terrifying Boolean string you've inputted into Recruiter for a candidate search? Here's an example of a complex string a recruiter might use in their search to fill a candidate for my role of Customer Engagement Manager.("customer engagement manager" OR "customer training manager" OR "instructional designer" OR "customer education manager") AND ("webinar facilitation" OR "virtual event planning" OR "online training delivery") AND ("stakeholder management" OR "cross-functional collaboration" OR "executive communication") AND ("training design" OR "learning experience creation" OR "instructional design") AND NOT ("sales representative" OR "account executive" OR "business development") I'm sure all of you have some in mind that are even more haunting. 💬 Let's hear them!  P.S. If reading this thread sends shivers down your spine, re

Picture this: You return from a dream vacation feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your hiring projects. You log into Recruiter, respond to candidate messages that came in while you were away…and then? Silence. Your inbox has become a total ghost town.Unfortunately, this isn’t just a scary story. 50% of U.S. candidates have ghosted employers during the hiring process—a 14-point jump since October 2023. And here’s the twist: many of these “ghosts” disappear because they feel recruiters ghosted them first.So, how do you keep your pipeline from turning into a haunted house?🎃 One Trick: Out of Office RepliesLeverage the Out of Office feature for InMail to keep candidates informed while you’re away.Turn on auto-replies for a specific time period. Let candidates know you’re unavailable and when they can expect a response.You’ll find this feature within the settings menu of your inbox in Recruiter.🍬 More Treats: Best Practices when MessagingSet clear expectations early: Share timelines an
