Building An Inclusive Recruitment Strategy By Removing Barriers To Entry with Emily Cardner from MongoDB
In this episode:
This week we had the pleasure of chatting with Emily Cardner, Senior Manager, Campus & Recruiting Programs at MongoDB about how to remove barriers to entry when recruiting untapped talent.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why it’s not about "lowering the hiring bar"—it’s about extending the bar
- What GenZ candidates value today and want from their employers
- What are some tools and tactics that help eliminate imposter syndrome of historically overlooked talent
- What recruitment experiences have changed since the pandemic
Our guest:

Let's extend the bar to include more people into that. And it's not lowering the bar, it's changing what that bar and that landscape is. And if we extend the hiring bar to folks who are first generation college students, amidst a slew of other things, we could really have an amazing diverse workforce that's bringing things to the table and judging them based on their aptitude and not what they've done.
