Talent Makers: featuring Erin L. Thomas, P.h.D and Kari Adwell

In this episode, Micah is joined by Upwork’s Erin L. Thomas, P.h.D, Head of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging and Kari Adwell, Senior Technical Recruiter. Erin and Kari will share advice for companies who are hoping to diversify their talent pools in a remote work environment. We’ll also discuss how hiring managers and recruiters can mitigate unconscious bias in the hiring process.

Talent Makers are leaders who believe that talent is their top business priority. Rather than seeing hiring solely as the role of People teams, Talent Makers champion better hiring and strengthen DE&I across their entire organizations to achieve business success. On the Greenhouse Talent Makers podcast, join host Micah Gebreyes, Senior Manager of Editorial Content at Greenhouse, as she sits down with hiring managers and recruiters who are changing the game in diverse and inclusive hiring.
