There's a continued lack of diversity at most global enterprises and technology companies, and that all starts with hiring.

In this interview with Khyati Sundaram, the CEO and Chairperson of @beapplied, she talks how help ensure fairer hiring decisions.

@claughlin @BenSimai @blackbirdvc @startmate We do a blind hiring process through @beapplied. It has been game changing in building the team we have!

Companies miss out on up to 60% of people, typically from minority groups, due to flawed CV-based hiring practices. 👎🏾 Tune in next week to learn more from CEO of @beapplied, Khyati Sundaram. We’ll be sharing the episode on Tuesday – don't miss it! #HrTech #podcast #techforgood

[Crest Communications @CrestComms]

AI has a chequered past when it comes to hiring 🏁 But could it ever be a genuine force for good? @sunkhyati1, CEO at @beapplied, speaks to @aparnadhinak at @Forbes about the future of AI in recruitment and the key to overcoming unconscious bias ⚖️
https://t.co/iqqf98VysJ

[Crest Communications @CrestComms]

Companies are overhauling their hiring processes to root out unconscious bias - and @beapplied is one of the companies leading the charge. CEO @sunkhyati1 spoke to @OliverPickup for @worklife_news about how Applied's tech is levelling the playing field ⚖️ https://t.co/s8Jyg5sECV

[Rhiannon Evans-Young @Rhiannoney]

@dougalshawBBC 100% - that's why companies should be embracing 'skills-based' hiring instead of obsessing about CVs and specific experience. Also helps reduce bias. It's what @sunkhyati1 and @beapplied are working on.

[Cameo Choquer @Camjacq]

@beapplied we're interviewing people with unconventional career paths into tech and startups - it's called Needles in Haystacks. The latest interview is with
Alan Tang, who went from working in a big 4, to being a chef, to working in Ops. Read more here: https://t.co/sbIYouIQOq

[Crest Communications @CrestComms]

Skills-based hiring drives a 79% increase in the number of black candidates hired for #finance and #consulting roles 📈 That's according to new research from @beapplied. Read the full story on @CityAM 💫https://t.co/nGO9MXewHX

[@jason @Jason]

VCs having a liquidity path for crypto w/retail investors is problematic

ie: VC firm invests in coin & it rips 200x, but project has no revenue & little product

X is obligated to lock in win for LPs, shifting risk to retail bag holders (& maybe founders)

Very bad dynamic

[Crest Communications @CrestComms]

Yesterday Khyati Sundaram, CEO @beapplied, took to the stage at @LDNTechWeek. Her panel discussed how to create inclusive cultures in a hybrid world, where there is the potential for “invisible people and unheard voices” to be further marginalised - or, empowered 👏 #LTW2022

[Ydevacademy @ydevacademy]

According to @karimacatherine, inclusion initiatives by most companies are mostly a quota system, more about meeting the numbers and not actually designed to have a real impact. She calls BS. We do too 😌

@LDNTechWeek @B2BeeMatch #LTW2022

[Ydevacademy @ydevacademy]

Are HR management systems biased?

CEO of @beapplied, Khyati says we all have to admit that “we are all biased on one form or another and as such it affects the systems we build". She believes that even hiring AI isn't de-biased enough.

@LDNTechWeek #LTW2022

[Jacqueline de Rojas CBE @JdR_Tech]

How do you match intent to impact when creating inclusive cultures? Fascinating debate: Is the CV dead? Be more targeted and intentional.. #DataMatters #LTW2022 #environment #vision #culture #flex @Linzi_Boyd @karimacatherine #purpose @ExperisUK @sunkhyati1 #selfworth #bias
