Refactor your hiring process: a framework (w/ Ilse Ackerman, Ezinne Chimah & Rocío Garza Tisdell)

While technologies in our industry have evolved rapidly in recent years, the way organizations hire has lagged. At Brooklyn Data, we've been innovating on the hiring process with fairness, rigor, efficiency, and candidate experience in mind, to good success. In this workshop, we're happy to share our work in progress, offer a lens with which to reflect on your own goals and process, and provide you with some simple modifications that you can put right into action.
