Religion and ethnicity
Religion
In religiously diverse countries, a broad sourcing and engagement approach whilst appealing to inclusive practices resonates with this candidate market. In homogeneous environments, understanding dominant cultural norms is often more important when engaging with talent.
Ethnicity
In ethnically diverse countries, there may be a greater variety of candidates with different cultural backgrounds. Employers may need to focus more on inclusive hiring practices to attract talent from across different ethnic groups.
