Talent Acquisition Optimization & DEI Roadmapping

Thimble

We deployed a culture engagement survey to the entire organization and conducted an equity audit to get a better understanding of their gaps in DEI.
The Problem

A fast-growing team with lack of recruitment structure

Thimble has provided on-demand insurance options for 30,000 small businesses spanning 100 professions. During our engagement, their team grew quickly. Hiring talent was a top priority, but company leaders realized they needed a DEI talent acquisition plan to streamline the recruitment process.

The Solution

DEI roadmapping and talent acquisition strategies

We deployed a culture engagement survey to the entire organization and conducted an equity audit to get a better understanding of their gaps in DEI. We then created a framework and facilitated sessions for their leadership team.

“They did all the heavy lifting but made sure to add in checkpoints so that I was comfortable and looped in on the entire process. Most importantly, when it was time to roll out the framework to the greater team, they were personable and made the training feel more like a discussion amongst equals. Every deliverable presented by their team has been uniquely crafted for us.”
