"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." This quote, often attributed to Albert Einstein, actually finds its roots in a 1938 London journal for engineers. An anonymous author, "Mr. Davies," used it to address critics, a fitting origin that brings the quote full circle to its application in the employee/employer dynamic. Today, this principle resonates deeply within the recruitment industry, which faces a critical need for a paradigm shift.
For too long, traditional hiring practices have dominated the recruitment landscape, yielding limited results and, more concerningly, significant social value loss. In a world where diversity, equity, and inclusion are increasingly recognised as catalysts for innovation and growth, clinging to outdated hiring methods is not just ineffective, it's counterproductive.
The Case for Change
Research from Business in the Community (BITC) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) underscores the untapped potential of overlooked candidates, including those who are neurodiverse, system-impacted, or from other underrepresented backgrounds. These individuals often bring unparalleled resilience, grit, and loyalty to their roles. Yet, traditional hiring mindsets frequently overlook them, perpetuating a cycle of exclusion and untapped potential.
The consequences of this oversight are profound. By neglecting to embrace diverse talent pools, organisations not only miss out on the unique contributions of these individuals but also forfeit the broader social value that comes from inclusive hiring practices. This social value is not just about ticking boxes, it's about driving innovation, fostering community growth, and building resilient, adaptive organisations.
Unlocking Pathways to Turbocharge Social Value
To break this cycle, hiring managers may benefit from a ‘Mindset Makeover’, an intentional shift in how they perceive and engage with potential candidates. This is where our "Mindset Makeover" service steps in.
Our approach is built around the "Learn with Empathy" framework, designed to transform the hearts and minds of hiring managers. By fostering empathy and understanding, this framework helps managers connect with and appreciate the unique strengths of underrepresented candidates. The outcomes are transformative, both for the individuals hired and the organisations that employ them.
The Mindset Makeover is 60 minute snapshot of our Immersive Masterclasses.
