HR Roadmap

Attraction, recruitment, and selection are important to ensure that you have the right people in the right jobs at the right time. Equally vital is how you onboard your new hires to your workplace.

These can feel like overwhelming tasks whether you are a small business owner, hire infrequently, or have many vacancies to fill each year. Following a hiring plan and consistently using tools can help to mitigate the chance of unconscious bias negatively impacting steps in the hiring process, make it more efficient for those in charge of hiring, and create a more equitable and positive experience for candidates.

This Inclusive Attraction, Recruitment, Selection, Onboarding, and Retention Roadmap is meant to act as a resource that breaks down hiring and onboarding into clear steps that can help ensure that equity and accessibility are prioritized and that your new employees feel welcomed and supported to do their best work. This will help retain great people and meet your organization’s goals!

This Roadmap contains the following sections:


Each section includes checklists, templates, and links to other Hire for Talent tools helpful to that step in the hiring process.

Attraction, recruitment, selection, and onboarding take time, but with preparation, practical tools, and attention to inclusion, equity and accessibility, you can hire and onboard effectively and efficiently and retain great, talented people.
