Jennifer Tardy Consulting ("Team JTC")

Integrity isn’t a buzzword, it’s a daily practice. For us, integrity means following through on our commitments, naming difficult truths when they matter most, and leading with honesty; even when it’s uncomfortable. This is how we build trust: with our clients, with candidates, and with each other, every single day. Because meaningful progress toward greater diversity and retention can only happen when trust is at the center of everything we do.

It’s time to rethink what “fit” really means. All too often, culture fit becomes a shortcut for hiring sameness—unintentionally narrowing the diversity of thought, experience, and perspective that drives innovation. At Team JTC, we know that strong teams are built on difference, not uniformity. Belonging begins with asking deeper, more intentional questions: Who might we be excluding when we prioritize comfort over inclusion? What new possibilities emerge when we broaden our definition of thriving? Equity isn’t about asking people to fit in. It’s about creating space for every individual to show up fully—and to succeed because of who they are, not in spite of it.

Inclusive hiring isn’t a checklist. It’s a mindset, and a sustained, intentional practice. It begins by reimagining how we define talent, potential, and readiness. It asks us to pause and examine the systems we’ve inherited, the ones that tend to favor those who already “fit the mold” and to redesign them in ways that offer a fair, equitable shot to those who have long been overlooked. True inclusion means removing invisible barriers that hold people back before they even have the chance to show what they’re capable of. It’s about creating hiring practices that don’t just reflect comfort or familiarity, but instead reflect values, equity, access, and belonging. This work takes time, and it isn’t always easy. But the reward is a workforce that’s more innovative, more resilient, and more reflective of the world we serve. And that makes the effort more than worth it. This is the standard we hold ourselves to, every step of the way.

Let’s start with clarity.
 Every engagement begins with one essential question:

“What does success truly look like for your organization, your teams, and the individuals you serve?” By establishing clear, shared goals from the outset, we ensure alignment. Even when challenges arise or complexities emerge. That’s why we’re intentional about defining the what, how, and why before taking action. This thoughtful approach isn’t just a step in our process: it’s how we drive meaningful outcomes that create lasting value. With Team JTC, clarity isn’t optional. It’s essential.

AI is reshaping the hiring landscape, but it’s not bias-proof. If we want technology to support equity, we need to train it to see what too many teams still overlook: the hidden barriers that block access for historically excluded candidates. In this new ERE article, Jenn explores how AI can be part of the solution—when used with care, strategy, and a deep understanding of where bias lives in your process.
