Diversity in recruitment also known as diversity hiring is a hiring process that is free from biasedness. The process makes sure that no one is judged based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, sexual preferences, or any other characteristics that are irrelevant to the job profile. A more modern take on the idea of diversity has been adopted to encompass other groups, such as women, military veterans, and individuals from the LGBTQIA community.
It involves actively hiring candidates from diversified backgrounds and ensuring that their talent and skills are being analyzed instead of their background.
