‼️ Please read: As we champion diversity and inclusion at Inventum Group looking at our data is a weekly, if not daily occurrence and our recent search highlights a troubling reality. After the interview stage, Black candidates face significantly lower placement rates compared to other ethnic groups, especially white candidates. According to the numbers, only 18% of Black candidates are placed in roles after the interview, compared to over 35% of white candidates. This means that Black candidates are nearly twice as likely to be rejected post-interview than their white counterparts. These figures expose the gaps in diversity efforts, signalling that bias persists, particularly at the final, most decisive stage of the hiring process. We must ask: why are Black candidates, after being deemed qualified enough for interviews, still disproportionately rejected? This is more than just a disparity—it’s a systemic issue. In the spirit of Black History Month, this data should not only spark conversation but provoke immediate action. Organisations must do more than just talk about diversity; they need to critically assess their recruitment and decision-making processes to ensure Black candidates have fair opportunities from interview to hire. What makes this even more pressing is that this data is drawn directly from our own database, reflecting real trends within recruitment. This is not just an isolated issue but a widespread problem across the industry. These numbers demand change, and if not now, when? It’s time to eliminate the bias that prevents Black candidates from being fairly placed and to hold organizations accountable for turning promises of diversity into reality. We would love to get your thoughts and spark some meaningful conversation in the comments below: #Blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #diversity #inclusion #diversityandinclusion
