Current Diversity Tools on The Talent Manager
Central to The Talent Manager’s ethos regarding diversity in the workplace is ensuring that good intentions are reflected in both good policies and good practise within the recruitment industry, with companies committing to forward thinking recruitment and embedding diversity within their everyday practices. But, that is easier said than done when deadlines are tight and favouritism is high. So, how can you easily access a diverse and inclusive workforce on every production you crew?
The Talent Manager has a real solution with the development (now three years old!) of a Diversity Dashboard that your company can access every time they recruit using TM. We have enabled real time reporting to facilitate companies in meeting their diversity targets, providing you with a robust solution to the ‘no diversity, no commission’ challenge that has been laid down by broadcasters.
We are committed to supporting those companies who want to ensure their TV and film production teams are as diverse and representative as the audiences they serve.
Diversity Dashboard
Make your production teams truly inclusive, using The Talent Manager’s suite of diversity recruitment tools.
The Diversity Dashboard gives recruiters detailed reporting on the make-up of their talent networks, for example, by productions or role, by Protected Characteristics plus socio-economic background.
Use the data to review your recruitment, processes and address areas of under-representation.
Diversity Search Engine
The Talent Manager’s unique algorithm allows you to find the best talent to match your production needs.
The diversity tab then highlights those ‘best match’ candidates from underrepresented groups – specifically people from BAME background and those with disabilities.
Keeping Your Recruitment GDPR Compliant
The Talent Manager’s diversity tools have been developed in consultation with the EHRC, ICO, Ofcom, Bectu and key industry stakeholders. Using the Talent Manager means you can keep an electronic audit of your ‘diverse searches’ to help ensure your company stays GDPR compliant.
The diversity tools have also been approved by one of the UK’s leading equalities’ QCs, so you can be confident you are addressing under-representation in a way that is legally robust. 
Tackle Unconscious Bias
Address Unconscious Bias in recruitment. The Talent Manager allows recruiters to hide the names and profile photos of freelancers so they can ensure candidates are being assessed by their skills and experience alone.
Fully Compliant Data Collection
Users have full control over their data, with a two click consent process, with consent regularly updated, to ensure your reporting is fully GDPR compliant 
And we’re not finished there! We are currently developing some really innovative features to help you ensure your teams are as diverse as the audiences you serve, including:
- Reporting to show the diversity of the cohort that VIEWED your job ad, so you can immediately start to think about under-served pockets of people you may want to reach;
- Reporting on the cohort that APPLY for a job, so companies can review in real-time what else they may need to do;
- Functionality so that recruiters can use the EQUAL MERIT clause to access diversity data of shortlisted applicants, making it even easier to make your production teams bring a real range of experiences and creativity.
The Talent Manager – always keeping one step ahead of diversity and inclusion so that you can crew with confidence.
