DID YOU KNOW?

Research shows that men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and other marginalised people tend to only apply when they meet all of them. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily tick every box, please apply or get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
