Every Candidate Seen™
Join us in bringing fairer, more inclusive hiring practices to more people.
A shared commitment from employers who believe candidates should be considered for what they can contribute - not judged by how well their career fits convention.

Hiring should recognise potential - not hide it

Opportunity should too.
Too many capable people are overlooked because their age, background or career history doesn’t fit what traditional hiring systems expect. High application volumes and conventional screening practices can filter people out based on keywords, job titles, and expected CV patterns before their capabilities are understood.
The Every Candidate Commitment brings together employers who believe candidates should be considered for what they can contribute – not simply how well their CV fits a conventional pattern.
A shared commitment to better hiring
Every Candidate Seen™ Advocates support hiring practices that look beyond conventional career paths, give people a meaningful opportunity to demonstrate their capability and keep candidates informed throughout the process.
Look beyond the conventional path
Career breaks, sector switches and non-linear histories are read as context, not as reasons to stop reading.
A chance to show capability
Every candidate gets a meaningful opportunity to demonstrate what they can bring to the role, the team, and organisation.
Keep candidates informed
People know where they stand and hear back throughout the process, not only when there’s good news.
You don’t need to have solved every part of hiring to join. You simply need to believe it can be better - and be willing to take practical steps towards making that happen.

What we mean by seen
What we commit to, in our own words

We believe people should be considered for what they can bring - not discounted because of their age, gender, background, education or career history.
We support hiring that looks beyond the conventional CV, gives candidates a fair opportunity to demonstrate their capability, and continually works to remove unnecessary barriers to opportunity.
We believe technology should make talent more visible and decisions more informed, while people remain accountable for who progresses and who is hired.
