Wilde, V.
Diversity - positive recruitment : guidelines and tools for the future harvest centers - Washington, DC (USA) : CGIAR, 2002. - iii, 58 pages - Printed - Gender Diversity Working Paper ; No. 36 .
This working paper provides practical guidelines and tools for diversity-positive recruitment. Written especially for the Human Resource (HR) Managers of the Future Harvest (FH) Centers, and others responsible for hiring, it presents ‘sourcing strategies’ that are truly global and woman-friendly. Its guidelines focus on each stage of the process, from drafting vacancy announcements to making selection decisions. Based on an in-depth examination of current practice in the FH Centers, as well as an external review of good practice, it focuses on the specific recruiting challenges of international science organizations. Since some data and Internet resources are based on information that is subject to change, the Gender and Diversity Program (G&D) will treat this paper as a ‘living resource’ – posting it on the G&D Website (www.genderdiversity.cgiar.org), accessible to all Centers. It will be updated periodically to include feedback and new information provided by the HR Managers as they work with it. The first section provides background material appropriate for senior managers. Their support is essential for implementation. The second section focuses on global recruitment strategies, offering practical ways and means to increase the applicant pool of technically and scientifically qualified candidates, including women and nationals from developing countries. The third section offers tips for managing a diversity-positive selection process.
