Interview skills: hire ethically and reduce bias

How can organisations make their interview processes genuinely inclusive, accessible, and equitable, not just in principle, but in practice?

In this session, we’ll explore how to design and conduct interviews that give every candidate a fair opportunity to succeed. We’ll look at what inclusion means in the context of hiring, from avoiding common pitfalls to building flexibility, adapting and ensuring fairness across the process.

Our speakers will share real-world examples of what equitable and inclusive recruitment looks like, what works well, what can go wrong, and the small changes that make a lasting impact. Whether you’re a hiring manager, HR professional, or part of an interview panel, this session will give you practical ideas to take back to your own organisation.
We’ll also share a short guide to inclusive and accessible recruitment with attendees after the session.
