Doing things differently - Recruitment technology for excellence and diversity

Freshminds have been developing and improving our recruitment methods since 2000, running and supporting some of the most prestigious and demanding graduate schemes along the way. 

As our methods developed and refined, we needed assessment technology that could keep up with our evolution, something that supported diverse hiring and allowed us to recruit the best applicants for consulting, finance and tech firms.

As a result, Freshminds teamed up with Applied, a ground-breaking HR tech company that harnessesed the latest behavioral science to combat unconscious bias in hiring and nudge candidates through the process. Together, we built the first diversity-friendly, analytical reasoning assessment platform that allows us to simultaneously identify the most high-performing candidates.
