Join the Seattle Chamber for part one of a two-part series on DEI best practices in recruiting.
In part one, we will be discussing best practices for organizational readiness and outreach in DEI recruiting.
For an organization to be prepared to expand their recruiting base, they must be able to answer the following questions:
Is the organization committed to DEI?
Who is the organization trying to attract?
Do you have DEI metrics?
What does DEI success look like?
Once readiness is achieved, advertising and outreach needs to be intentional to match the organization’s DEI goals. During this webinar, we will explore some ideas that will make outreach inclusive and equitable. Some of these ideas include:
Advertising in ways that will reach a larger pool of candidates
How to diversify your network for potential candidates
Creating and honoring salary ranges rather than basing pay off previous salaries
Empowering internal diverse candidates internally to take on stretch projects.

There can be a gap between organizations who are just engaged in DEI work and organizations who are committed. An organization that is committed to DEI work has the following:
- Buy in and sponsorship from the leadership team
- An appropriate budget to support programs and initiatives
- Financially compensated DEI professionals to provide help in consulting, planning and executing the work
Our next Recalibrate program will focus on best practices that will be useful in bridging the gap between an organization being engaged in DEI work and an organization who is committed long term by using its resources to support the work.

Recalibrate is the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program at the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
Recalibrate: Connect I Reflect is our structured networking event where attendees will have the opportunity to connect with other people who are interested in DEI topics while reflecting on the topic of the previous symposium.
Our initial structured networking event will focus on how to define diversity, equity, and inclusion at your workplace. Often, companies do not take the time to understand these words, their meanings and how they relate before a company begins their DEI journey. This will be the topic of conversation at our Recalibrate Symposium taking place on February 24th.
How does it work?
- Our event host will kick off the event by asking the group a question revolving around how to define diversity, equity, and inclusion at your workplace.
- Then, guests will be sent into breakout rooms
- While in the breakout room, guests will introduce themselves, then have a conversation with each other concerning the question.
- We will do three rounds of questions, breaking into small groups each time and having conversations about the question.
The goal of the Recalibrate programs is to provide chamber members with a deeper understanding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion topics while providing information on DEI best practices.
