Arthur joins me in a discussion about how technology can help companies reduce bias in hiring and the biggest problems in most companies' diversity hiring efforts. We also explore some helpful tools (free or paid) and strategies that HR teams can use to make better hiring decisions.

I also learn more about the Equal Hiring Index® and how tech can help assess your full hiring and retention process to ensure equity and access.
