ISE Member Insights Live empowering social mobility in early careers hiring

A joint webinar from Neurosight and the 93% Club, in partnership with the ISE. Despite years of widening-participation work, state-school, working-class, and NEET candidates with genuine potential are still being systematically filtered out of many early careers hiring pipelines – across every assessment stage. This session brought together the candidate reality, drawn from the 93% Club's research with over 10,000 state-educated job seekers, and the assessment science from Neurosight, to show what genuinely levels the playing field across an end-to-end early careers hiring process. By watching you will learn: The scale and shape of the problem, drawn from 10,000 state-school job seekers – what candidates from lower socio-economic backgrounds actually experience at each stage of the funnel. Evaluating end-to-end hiring processes to identify where most adverse impact is generated – and how to spot it in your current process. What distinguishes assessment and hiring methods that measures genuine potential from assessments that measures privilege, with examples from employers already doing it. Practical implementation tips, quick wins, and a roadmap for empowering social mobility from application to offer.
