Skills Development Scotland has produced these guides to help you build a more diverse workforce. The guides will show you how to find and keep employees or apprentices you might not have been able to reach before.
The inclusive recruitment guides offer tips on how to widen your search for candidates and make your selection process fair. Once your new employee arrives, there's a guide which will show you how to get the best out of them.
