Talent Makers: Featuring Gary L. Davis and Bridgette Gray

11/28/22 • 30 min

In this episode, Micah is joined by Gary L. Davis, Diversity Talent Acquisition Lead for Digital Media at Adobe and Bridgette Gray, Chief Customer Officer at Opportunity@Work. We’ll explore how to grow and promote from within, as well as how to best understand and utilize hiring data for underrepresented groups. We’ll also discuss the importance of hiring workers who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs).

Talent Makers are leaders who believe that talent is their top business priority. Rather than seeing hiring solely as the role of People teams, Talent Makers champion better hiring and strengthen DE&I across their entire organizations to achieve business success. On the Greenhouse Talent Makers podcast, join host Micah Gebreyes, Senior Manager of Editorial Content at Greenhouse, as she sits down with hiring managers and recruiters who are changing the game in diverse and inclusive hiring.

Introducing The Greenhouse podcast: People-first

People-first companies prioritize their people and foster a culture of hiring. They understand that people are their most valuable asset, so they treat all their people practices – especially hiring – as strategic, rather than administrative, functions.
