Kinly has announced the launch of its publicly available candidate charter, aiming to solidify the company’s commitment to fair and inclusive hiring.
The commitment aims to establish consistency, fairness, and support in recruitment, aiming to improve the candidate experience at every stage and addressing the AV industry’s talent shortage.
Kinly quotes a recent research study that highlights three quarters (72%) of people reported that job hunting has negatively impacted candidates’ mental health, with almost half (44%) of applicants expressing frustration from a lack of communication from employers.
The new charter aims to prioritise timely communication, ensuring candidates are communicated with throughout the entire hiring process.
Kinly will also share useful information and resources with prospects to help with preparation before each interview, aiming to reduce interview-induced fear experienced by 87% of job seekers.
The company aims to ensure that all job descriptions are clear and detailed, giving candidates an accurate understanding of the role and its responsibilities, reassuring applicants that listings are genuine and that the candidate will be fairly considered for the role.
Andy Nicholls, global head of talent acquisition, Kinly, commented: “Kinly has always held itself to a high standard when it comes to hiring – following its core tenets of being curious, honest, respectful, and responsible. We wanted our candidates to understand our commitment to building a welcoming environment for all employees, starting at the recruitment phase.
“With this charter, we have standardised our interview processes across all regions, formally and publicly guaranteeing a consistent experience for every interviewee. And we hope that it’ll inspire other organisations within AV to do the same so that the industry can ultimately become a more transparent, considerate space.”
