Unbiased Recruitment. For Diversity And Against Bias

Hire the right talent without being colored by unconscious bias.

Unbiased recruitment allows us to see the potential in people. As well as, contributing to a sustainable job market. Big, beautiful words, you may think. But our unbiased recruitment process helps us find talents with the right skills. As a result, it creates benefits for your business along with increased competitiveness and diversity in the workplace.

Unbiased recruitment, or objective recruitment, is something we really believe in. And it’s not a PR ploy. We know the value of challenging unconscious bias and instead focusing on potential and competency during the recruiting and staffing process. And we do it for real. Sounds too good to be true? Well, the unbiased methodology TNG has developed is based on over 15 years of development and research. It is data-driven, structured and competency-based hiring. And it is turning the traditional recruitment process on its head and challenging the HR and recruitment industry.

In other words, strive to always create an inclusive, fair and more transparent candidate experience for job seekers. While also removing as much bias as possible and consequently deliver more diverse teams. To make it happen we have augmented and designed our own recruitment tech tools to assist recruiters. The tools are used to be more objective during the selection and assessment phase. And are now challenging the most critical and most biased part of the recruitment funnel – the job interview.

90 percent of those looking for work can see themselves seeking jobs in an unbiased way.

We are all prejudiced

Our experience after many years of working with recruitment, staffing and diversity is that nothing will change until we realize that all people have prejudice and hold preconceived opinions. It is not just about discrimination, but rather that we all carry our past experiences with us. And this often makes us look for candidates that fit our own frame of reference. For this reason, it is easier to choose a candidate who is like ourselves and makes us feel safe. Rather than choosing someone who is different. Quite simply, it’s easier to go on ”gut feeling”, and this is something you definitely should not do!

Finding potential with unbiased recruitment

TNG’s philosophy is simply to focus on the candidates’ competency and not get caught up on surface details. Such as name, age, gender, background or shoe size, but instead, find a person’s inner potential. It’s a question of not missing out on the most promising new employees. So we’re driven to find the potential driving forces, abilities and defining qualities in others.

Why? Because working with the best talent is beneficial to our customers! Our unbiased recruitment methodology allows us to find the most suitable candidates. Even those who previously had been rejected for the wrong reasons. As a result, your company will become more diverse, which makes your business more competitive and innovative.
