The level= hiring process is robust, researched and reliable, meaning your job search will be supported in an inclusive and fair way. This uses a different approach than the traditional application methods – this is because traditional processes (like standard CV screening) can lead to biased decisions. The level= process helps to eliminate bias from the application process. Find out how to apply to see how this works…

HOW TO APPLY

Getting started You’ll be asked for your contact details and provided with a unique application link by email that you can use to access your application at any time. Tell us about yourself You’ll begin the application by giving us some information about yourself including your name, contact number and any other information that may be part of the criteria for the role. You’ll also be asked to complete an anonymous Equal Opportunities questionnaire, including gender identity, age, ethnicity, disability status and socioeconomic status. This helps to assist organisations in learning how to attract and hire the best and most diverse candidates. It also helps to ensure hiring is as fair as possible. These questions are asked upfront so that organisations can analyse whether there are stages in the application process where candidates of particular groups are likely to drop out, and therefore assist in improving the process for all. These questions are designed to help organisations learn about multiple dimensions of diversity on an aggregated and anonymised basis, (so the data isn’t identifiable to you as a candidate), but you do have the option to skip these questions if you’d prefer. Work sample tasks You will then be asked to complete work sample questions, instead of subjecting your CV to screening.Evidence shows that CVs are a poor indicator of performance and allow bias to affect choices when it comes to reviewing applications. These questions ensure that your application isn’t subject to bias in the review process, and looks to assess whether you’d be a good fit at the organisation to which you are applying. Your answers are reviewed and assessed by a diverse panel using a defined review guide focusing on skills that are important to the job. Work samples are job-specific questions that test candidates on the skills needed to succeed in the role and are reflective of what the job actually entails. Four methods are used to systematically remove bias from reviewing

process:

• 1

application. 2. chunking – cutting each application into chunks and then comparing them across candidates, rather than reviewing an entire application in one go. 3. randomisation – jumbling up the order in which chunks are evaluated so that order effects are averaged out

4

helps to average out subjectivity for a more accurate assessment of merit
