About The Program

Work with Levyl to create recruitment processes that advance DEI in the workplace.

The Problem with Recruitment

Being specialists in People and Culture (HR) recruitment we see firsthand the biases and discrimination that exists in search, selection, and onboarding processes.

As a result, exceptional talent is being overlooked and underleveraged.

This leads to a skewed demographic in People and Culture teams, under-representative of the organisation’s overall workforce. True diversity, visibility and employment longevity is compromised, and organisations are missing out on the opportunity to learn directly from those with lived experience. 

To overcome this, we’ve created the High Potential Program (HPP).

Our Solution: The High Potential Program

The High Potential Program (HPP) is an identified hire DEI recruitment program, that addresses the modifications required throughout the hire, onboard, and employment journey for candidates from specific community groups. This encompasses skills application, policy design, environmental considerations, cultural inclusivity, and career pathways longevity. 

The goal of the HPP is to connect People & Culture (HR) professionals from underrepresented parts of our community to inclusive employers who are looking to create more diverse and equitable environments. 

Which organisations will benefit from the High Potential Program?

Those that are:

  • Determined to build and nurture a truly diverse and inclusive, future focused workforce;

  • Already invested in DE&I, with a Manager or team in place;

  • Focused on uplifting representation of people from all backgrounds into their People & Culture team;

  • Looking for diverse candidate shortlists and talent pipelines; and

  • Committed to forming truly collaborative and invested, supplier partnerships.

Which candidates should participate in the High Potential Program?

Are you ready to unlock your potential and overcome the obstacles life has thrown your way? The High Potential Program is here to support you, especially if you have faced challenges such as:

  • Your age, race, gender or nationality;

  • Being a return to work parent, or returning from a long period of absence from the workforce;

  • Living with a disability;

  • Identifying as neurodivergent;

  • Being a member of LGBTQIA+ communities;

  • Identifying as First Nations people;

  • Facing barriers to gaining an education; or

  • Seeking part-time, job-share or ultra-flexible employment.

Join us and be part of a community that values diversity and inclusivity. Your unique experiences and perspectives make you a perfect candidate for this transformative journey.

Which part of diversity should an organisation focus on?

The challenge organisations face is converting their awareness of the need for DEI into sustainable and transformational action. We understand what is involved in hiring a diverse workforce and understand you need this tools too. Through this program we provide the training and expertise required to generate a feeling of psychological safety and belonging for both you embarking on this journey, but also for your current and future employees. 

Levyl has identified seven different diversity pillars and formulated a four-stage framework that will underpin a consulting stream of work built for each pillar. 

These pillars include: 

  1. Neurodiversity

  2. LGBTQIA+

  3. Disability

  4. Cultural diversity 

  5. Intergenerational

  6. First Nations

  7. Gender Equality 

We have proudly launched our Neurodiversity and LGTBQIA+ streams to market.  

How The High Potential Program Works

We are motivated to drive a stronger connection between internal DE&I teams and frontline hiring managers.
