Our take
Headtstart uses machine learning and data analytics to help companies find the right employees regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or age.
The software analyzes job descriptions, CVs, education and other types of recruitment data for bias, allowing organizations to create diverse recruitment campaigns
Since launching in 2015, the company claims to have reduced bias by 20% and time-to-hire by nearly 70% for large organizations such as Accenture, Lazard and Smiths Group.
