Part 4: Coming back at you with another Equity Edge insight š§
Letās talk about why āhiring for potentialā isnāt the diversity strategy you think it is.
On the surface, it sounds inclusive. But hereās the problem:
ā It skips the first, critical step: learning how to see true qualificationsāwithout bias.
Too often, highly qualified, overqualified candidates from marginalized communities are overlooked because workplaces still struggle to look beyond factors that donāt predict job performance.
ā And when we position āpotentialā as the reason for hiring underrepresented candidates, we reinforce a dangerous and false idea:
That theyāre not being hired on merit.
The Equity Edge unpacks this and gives you a better framework.
