About this webinar
Most hiring teams would say they’re committed to fair recruitment. But bias is often invisible from the inside. Compliance gaps tend to surface at the worst possible moment. And the candidates most affected are frequently the ones you most wanted to hire.
On Wednesday 30th September at 11am, we’re hosting a free panel webinar for hiring leaders to explore this honestly.
