29. Small Details, Big Signals: Inclusive Recruitment for Trans Candidates
It’s easy to say your hiring process is inclusive - but what do your job ads, interview questions and onboarding forms quietly communicate?
In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of recruitment to see what really makes a difference for trans and non-binary candidates. We talk about the subtle ways bias creeps in, how to build trust from the first click and why language - on your website, in your offer letter, in your reference checks - matters more than you think.
There are personal stories here and surprising stats that might shift your assumptions (did you know trans candidates are often more qualified than average!?) We also get into the kinds of details that build trust - like how you navigate background checks, what not to say in interviews, and naming your inclusion efforts honestly, even if they’re still a work in progress.
Check it out!
