The absence of an overriding organisation setting standards for hiring across the UK meant that there was no singular driving force for change to modernise the labour market by eliminating waste, inefficiency, and poor productivity across all sectors and industries. The Better Hiring Institute brings together a multitude of sector and industry specific best practices and trade body voices to drive real change across the UK. Our vision is to enable a truly dynamic and modern labour market underpinned by digital technology, best practice, fairness, agility and flexibility, levelling the playing field in hiring.
