CVs never tell the whole story. Too often, individuals are rejected from roles simply because of where they come from or what university they went to. Outdated hiring policies are causing employers to close the door on talent they haven’t even given a chance.

The campaign, which was promoted in the main employer districts in London, highlighted the stories of people who have struggled to find work because of their background.
