Real-Life Examples
Based on the existing recruitment practices and job specifications of the student-led investment fund, we’ve built a training session that was tailored and adapted to their reality.

This framework has shown to not only reduce biases in the decision making process, but also help identify the potential culture-add of candidates with diverse backgrounds.

Concern-based session
