As young people enter the labour market each year the expectations and needs change. There are very real barriers in the hiring process of today, many of which adversely affect our younger population. There are complex issues sitting behind early years recruitment such as the role of education in supporting people's future careers and the role of AI in the hiring process.

 

The Better Hiring Institute, its collaborators and employer network, have long been campaigning for faster, fairer, and safer hiring. Creating a fairer hiring process for young people is essential to this aim. Much can be done to reduce the number of young people not in work, education, or training especially in our new age of digital hiring and remote working.

 

This guidance working in collaboration with Reed Screening, Bright Network, Lancaster University and others will provide the UK hiring community with a fresh understanding of the needs of the next generation, with practical recommendation to reimagine hiring.
