Our take
Research indicates that employee referrals have a remarkable 9x higher likelihood of employment compared to other methods and over 80% of employers regard referrals as their preferred recruitment approach. Unfortunately people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often lack professional networks and find themselves excluded from employment opportunities.
Enter Tangent, an organisation bridging the gap between unconnected talent and the tech industry through employee referrals. Committed to promoting social mobility, Tangent envisions a world where career and wealth potential is not constrained by one's upbringing. By connecting individuals with tech employees capable of offering valuable referrals and coaching services, Tangent levels the playing field, allowing anyone to fulfil their professional aspirations.
By actively challenging the status quo and recognising the value of diverse talent, Tangent contributes to an inclusive and equitable tech industry. By expanding its network and forging partnerships with influential companies like LinkedIn and Slack, Tangent is poised to create a lasting impact on social mobility in the tech sector.
