Improving diversity and inclusion
Virtual Assessment Centres can significantly improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Here are some ways they can help:
A wider pool of candidates: VACs eliminate candidates' need to travel, making it easier for individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate. This allows for a wider pool of candidates, potentially increasing the diversity of the applicant pool.
Reducing bias: With their structured and consistent assessment and interview approach, VACs can help to reduce unconscious bias by reducing the influence of factors such as race, gender, or appearance. This makes your recruitment process more objective and fair, helping to ensure that the best candidates are selected.
Improved accessibility: VACs provide improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities, as they can be completed from the comfort of their own homes without the need for travel or other physical requirements.
Advanced technology: Our virtual assessment centres use advanced technology for data analysis, which can help to identify and eliminate bias in the selection process. For example, it becomes easier to detect and correct gender and ethnicity biases in candidate assessments.
