On today's episode of the RecruitingDaily Podcast, William Tincup speaks with Silvija Martincevic, CEO of Deputy. The topic of discussion is how to recruit, retain, and advance women to leadership roles.
Deputy is a global platform for managing hourly workers, which helps with scheduling, communication, engagement, and onboarding. The company focuses on the 70% of the world's workers who are not yet living in the digital age. Martincevic highlights that there is a significant focus on knowledge workers in recruiting, but not much focus on hourly workers. This is an issue, as they make up a substantial portion of the workforce.
Martincevic discusses the challenges of recruiting women, noting that women may face biases and stereotypes when applying for jobs. She suggests that companies need to be more proactive in creating opportunities and reaching out to women. Companies can also partner with schools and universities to encourage more women to pursue STEM fields and other industries where women are underrepresented. Martincevic emphasizes that companies need to create inclusive cultures and offer flexible work arrangements to attract and retain women.
