      Dos and Don'ts

      for recruitment

       

      1

      Pre-employment / applications

       

      Don't ask about anything that may indicate an intention to discriminate (s23 HRA) — disability, age, gender etc.

       

      Do separate / delete any personal information given that may bias your decision.

      2

      Pre-interview

       

      Do ask if there is anything you can do to make the interview more comfortable for the interviewee.

       

      Don't ask anything potentially discriminatory (see grounds s21 HRA).

      3

      At interview

       

      Do check your bias (self-awareness).

       

      Don't probe into personal issues about the interviewee's ability to do the job — access, childcare etc.

      4

      AFTER offering a job

       

      Do ask the candidate if there is anything they need to enhance their ability to do the job — desk setup, ability to , etc.

       

      Do ask their preferred name and pronouns.

      5

      Before confirming employment

       

      Don't let bias and HWDTAH influence your decision.

       

      Do be creative about how you might accommodate unique needs — flexitime, task-swapping, working virtually etc.

       

      Do discuss any reasonable accommodation issues with the HRC or other employment expert (s22 HRA).

      6

      After confirming employment

       

      Do expect HWDTAH to change.

       

      Don't let bias or discomfort stop you from benefiting from a new aspect of diversity.

       

      Do be aware of other employees' responses to diversity and raise issues asap.
