Hiring to improve company culture

Hiring with company culture in mind is fast becoming a recruitment and resourcing “have to”.

Yet, under the Equality Act 2010, companies are required to eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation from their recruitment processes.

This means that HR has to be particularly careful when hiring for “culture fits”, to ensure they’re not getting incorporating bias into any stage of selection.
