PROMPT

Create a skill called "Inclusive Sourcing Plan". Inputs: - Role + level + location/remote - Current funnel data (optional) - Constraints: visa policy, shift work, travel, etc. Output: 1) Inclusive role framing (what to emphasize, what to remove) 2) Channel diversification plan (communities, schools, returnships, etc.) 3) Skills-first screening rubric changes to reduce pedigree bias 4) Structured interview guardrails (consistency + anchored scoring) 5) Measurement plan: - stage conversion rates - adverse impact checks (if available) - candidate experience survey checkpoints Do NOT recommend illegal discrimination. Keep it process-focused and skills-based.

How It Works

Describe the role and your current funnel. The skill identifies where

bias creeps in and builds a sourcing plan that reaches broader talent pools.

What You Get

  • Inclusive role framing (what to emphasize, what to remove)
  • Channel diversification plan (communities, schools, returnships, etc.)
  • Skills-first screening rubric changes
  • Structured interview guardrails
  • Measurement plan with stage conversion rates and candidate experience checkpoints

Setup Steps

  1. Define the role, level, and location
  2. Share current funnel data if you have it
  3. Note any constraints (visa policy, shift work, travel)
  4. Implement changes across sourcing and screening

Tips

  • Skills-first screening has the highest ROI of any single change
  • Channel diversification matters more than tweaking the same LinkedIn search
  • Measure stage conversion rates by source to find drop-off patterns
  • This is about process improvement, not protected-class targeting
