Lead the way in fair recruiting
Fight discrimination, hire future leaders, and improve business performance with Headstart's applicant matching and management system for early talent hiring.
Fight discrimination to improve diversity
For the last few years, the dominant narrative has been to improve diversity by tackling unconscious bias, broader sourcing, leading outreach programs, and externally promoting their support for diversity causes. But the impact has been negligible.
The tide is turning. Business leaders are acknowledging their moral duty to customers, employees, shareholders and wider society. And now is the time for action.Â
It’s no longer enough to improve diversity. Businesses must actively fight discrimination in their hiring process.

Actively move past internalized bias on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and background - whilst creating real change. Headstart scores candidates on their true fit against your role, highlighting those with the most potential to succeed.
Use socioeconomic background data to level the playing field for all candidates. Headstart can collect data on family background and residential deprivation to upweight candidates that have made progress against the odds.
Discover stages in your pipeline that are affected by bias. Headstart’s pipeline analytics can show areas with high drop-off rates for gender and ethnicity.
Get the information you need to push diversity forward in your hiring process. Integrated analytics show areas of success and opportunities for improvement across your candidate base and pipeline.
