Presenter: Kate Glazebrook (online), Chair and Cofounder at Applied, supported with a case study from new HunterNet member MGA Thermal – Arden Jarrett
Applied is a technology enabled platform offering an option to de-biased recruiting in an ethical and effective manner.

By using anonymised, randomised applications and skill-based assessments, Applied reveals talent that may be overlooked via traditional hiring methods.
