Why You Should Make Impact Hiring A Priority

What is impact hiring?

Impact hiring is the process of hiring with a focus on adding value to your organization and the world. It’s about making sure that the people you bring on board are going to help you achieve your mission.

Impact hiring is not just about diversity and inclusion, although that is part of it. Impact hiring means looking at what candidates bring to the table, who they are as people, and how they will fit into the culture of your organization.

You might be wondering: Why do we need impact hiring? Well, here’s some evidence that shows why impact hiring is so important:

The millennial generation is now the largest group in America, and by 2020 they will make up half of all workers globally, according to Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2017 report. The millennial generation is also more diverse than previous generations with 48% identifying as something other than white! This means that if you aren’t making an effort to diversify your team you could be missing out on great talent and losing out on potential business opportunities in a very competitive marketplace.

Why should you care?

Impact hiring can help you build a team of highly engaged employees who feel like they're making a difference in their work. These employees will feel valued, which can lead to increased productivity and retention rates.

In addition to having a positive impact on your organization, impact hiring can also make it easier for people who need jobs to find them. Companies need to consider how their hiring processes affect those who are looking for work but may not be able to get hired due to factors out of their control such as race or gender identity.

How to get started:

Impact hiring is a strategic approach to recruiting and hiring employees. It is the process of incorporating a social or environmental mission into your hiring practices, which can also help attract top talent.

The following are some ways that impact hiring can benefit your organization:

Boost employee engagement:

Employees who feel an affinity for their company's mission and purpose are more motivated to contribute to their work, which leads to increased productivity and engagement.

Attract top talent:

 If you're looking for candidates who align with your company's values, impact hiring can help you attract top talent who share your values and want to make a difference in the world through their work.

Increase retention rates by attracting diverse candidates:

While diversity isn't always tied to social impact, it's important to consider how diversity in thought contributes to better workplace culture and diversity of perspectives improves outcomes.

Impact hiring is a good policy because it shows your commitment to making an impact on society and can help provide better employment opportunities to people who may have been overlooked in the past. You should start today.
