Inclusive Recruitment Toolkit

The Inclusive Recruitment Toolkit is a selection of resources to help you create an inclusive recruitment process in your organisation.

We’ve taken best practices and great examples from organisations in our Integrated Care System and compiled them all in one place, so they can be used to improve how we recruit.

Recruitment can be a time and resource intensive process, so the more we get right first time, to get top talent into our organisations, the more benefits we will see in our system.

The Inclusive Recruitment Blueprint

The Inclusive Recruitment Blueprint is broken down into five key stages:

  1. Prepare
  2. Advertise
  3. Shortlist
  4. Interview
  5. Outcomes

The blueprint has a strong focus on bringing diversity to our teams. NHS Workforce Race Equality Standard Data shows us so far that people from diverse backgrounds are statistically less likely to make it through the recruitment and selection process than white candidates, so the toolkit aims to ensure the process is fair and the best candidates are hired.
