Please join us in a discussion around the recruitment process and hiring trends in higher education and corporate America. This session will feature a US based Corporate Recruiter to offer insights, advice, and guidance to current trends in hiring and recruiting from an LGBTQIA lens. As always, this session is discussion based so please bring your own questions and curiosities so that we can learn together. Although the session’s guest speaker is US based and focused on LGBTQIA perspectives, we welcome anyone interested in learning more about trends in hiring and recruitment across the industry and globe.
