The Recruitment Reset programme is a ten-week development programme designed to empower organisations with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to modernise their recruitment practices. By focusing on efficiency, effectiveness, and fairness, the programme aims to create a recruitment process that is not only inclusive but also sustainable, leading to a stronger and more resilient workforce. It is open to Employer Link subscribers. You can find more information on how to apply to the programme here.
