Today, more than ever, world-class organizations need world-class executive talent. Access to a deep pool of successful leaders is a crucial ingredient to the continuation and expansion of organizational missions. As a boutique firm, we strive to become part of your mission.

We are not the biggest firm that you will ever work with; and this is by design. We are industry experts skilled at tailoring solutions that suit our clients, and our depth of experience includes work with both market leaders and market disruptors. We pride ourselves in finding the best fit for your key leadership roles, knowing that we are setting them up for long-term success.

Our engagement starts by sitting down with your team in order to identify what it is that you want to achieve. This process entails understanding and defining your goals, and determining action items and key measures for attracting, engaging, assessing and hiring diverse talent to drive desired business outcomes.

We review a myriad of factors, including the language you are broadcasting to would be applicants in order to make sure that the right levers are pulled in order to attract the diverse candidates with whom your message will resonate.

Our sourcing strategy will be driven by your D&I goals.  We help you create actionable steps to begin your diversity hiring initiative. These include:

1. Defining success by creating meaningful diversity recruiting KPIs.
2. Audit of your job ads: Remove Bias from Job Descriptions and from the sourcing stage (unconscious Bias training)
3. Proactively reaching out to underrepresented candidates by targeting sources where diverse candidates go – Connections with organizations and meetup groups to draw underrepresented candidates.
4. Help you develop an Employer Brand that showcases your diversity.

Partnering for Success – Scope, Attract, Identify

Scope Alignment
Upon approval of project scope, your JCLauren Talent Acquisition (TA) Partner will be reaching out to schedule a Strategy Meeting to fully align around the scope and accountabilities of the project and the sourcing strategy. This is an important first step towards attracting the best talent and delivering a world class and inclusive candidate experience.

Attracting Diverse Candidates
With every new interaction, you have an opportunity to increase the effectiveness, performance and diversity of your team, including leadership skills, work styles, job competencies and diversity of experiences and backgrounds. At JCLauren, we are singularly focused on helping your organization advance its inclusion and diversity goals. As your partner, we are committed to working with you to achieve this goal.

Identifying and Mitigating Unconscious Bias
There are several points in hiring where unconscious biases naturally come into play. Bias is a normal part of human nature but can cloud our objectivity and impact our judgment. To address this, we have embedded key “bias checks” in the hiring process to identify and mitigate biases that may arise when creating slates, interviewing, debriefing and selecting candidates. Your TA partner will guide through a series of steps to help you drive an inclusive hiring process.
