Event Details

This event is offered as part of the five-part Re(Human)ized Resources Series hosted in partnership with the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN).

Focus: Attraction & Entry

Explore how to attract, interview, and onboard talent through an equity-centered lens. You will learn how traditional hiring practices replicate bias, and how inclusive job design, accessible onboarding, and culture-add approaches can create belonging from day one.

Key Concepts: Inclusive recruiting; bias-checking in job descriptions and interviews; transparency in process; accessibility audits; culture-add vs. culture-fit.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify exclusionary language and redesign job descriptions for equity
  • Implement inclusive interview and onboarding practices that foster early allyship
  • Curate tools and approaches to increase accessibility in hiring onboarding

About the Presenter

Headshot of program presenter, Kaitlin DesselleKaitlin Desselle. My superpowers are developing emotionally-intelligent leaders and revolutionizing organizational cultures into the most profitable asset. I have a proven track record of authenticating company values to impact employee engagement, efficiency in systems, and rapid growth of bottom line.

I founded Wayfinders Coaching & Consulting after spending over a decade in operations management and people leadership in high-performance organizations. I’ve worked cross-functionally in HR, business development, change management and learning and development, and across many industries–from nonprofit work, higher education, food service, and retail–to DEI consulting.

What I found along the way is that the core ingredients for successful relationships (and ultimately business growth) are rooted in emotional intelligence, trust-based communication, and intercultural competence. Now I offer coaching, training, consulting, and thought-partnership for individuals and teams seeking to build these skills.I work with an incredibly diverse team of practitioners, with go-to methodologies that include critical HROD, change management frameworks, emotional intelligence (EQ-i), intercultural development (IDI), systems audits, and cultural assessments.
