Define Clear DEI Metrics and Stages in the Hiring Funnel

To accurately measure DEI hiring funnel conversion rates, start by clearly defining what diversity, equity, and inclusion metrics you want to track (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability status). Break down the hiring funnel into distinct stages—application received, phone screen, technical interview, onsite interview, and offer extended/accepted. Track the demographic data of candidates at each stage to identify where disparities occur and calculate conversion rates accordingly.
