Summary: The document titled “My Diverse Hiring Playbook” provides strategies for increasing diversity in hiring practices. The author emphasizes the importance of prioritizing diversity and offers several tactics for achieving this goal. These include adopting a variant of the Rooney Rule, which requires interviewing at least one candidate from an underrepresented background before making an offer, using opportunistic hires strategically to increase diversity, focusing outbound recruiting on underrepresented candidates, paying for postings on job boards targeting underrepresented communities, cultivating a network of connectors who can help identify diverse candidates, and explicitly stating that you are looking to build diverse teams in job postings and recruitment efforts. The author also encourages measuring the diversity of the hiring pipeline and being transparent about areas for improvement.
