This session will discuss pragmatic topics like writing job descriptions using accessible language and how to conduct interviews that are welcoming and support diversity amongst a niche field of expertise at varying career stages. Presenters will highlight the "soft skills" to seek in potential applicants, and the tools and necessary training to keep them engaged. This session will summarize how to keep new hires engaged in regulatory content through peer mentoring programs and relevant training. Session attendees will have the opportunity to engage in small-group discussions to brainstorm strategies and approaches to their own hiring practices.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate current hiring job posts and practices to support a diverse new workforce that does not have prior regulatory background
  • Recommend interview questions to evaluate potential candidates based on their responses, and learn how to evaluate soft skills, both for entry-level candidates and mid- to later-career candidates
  • Explore hiring practices that support diversifying the field regardless of the career stage of the candidates
  • Understand how hiring strategies connect to long-term employee development and workforce diversification efforts
