English term or phrase: hiring team
Hello everyone,

A chance to show what was possible came her way when a change-minded, newly appointed CEO of a Swiss Re business decided that although business was going well, the company could benefit from the infusion of new, more diverse talent. He opened up all the most senior management positions, encouraging everyone to apply. Success would mean being more client-centric; a diversity of viewpoints, genders, culture, education, skills, and so on was a key factor in achieving this.

Shortly before applications closed, the CEO noticed the lack of diversity in the list of candidates; virtually no women were applying for the roles. While scratching his head, he consulted with Joyn-son-Romanzina, who told him to look beyond his existing network. “Women are less likely to feel qualified, even when they are,” she explained. “You need to go out and tell women, and men, very specifically that they should be applying. There is no guarantee that they will get the job, but they should at least apply.”

He did just that, extending the application deadline to allow the effort to take effect. A diverse ***hiring team*** was brought on board and put through training about unconscious bias. Also, Joynson-Roman-zina was invited into the room to join the decision making to challenge any unconscious biases and to ensure an equal playing field for all.

What is a hiring team in this context? Members of an outside recruiting agency? Employees of the company who should choose candidates for open positions? Or potential candidates themselves?

Thank you.
