Some of the UK’s best candidates never make it past the first screen. Not because they lack motivation. Not because they’re underqualified. But because old systems quietly screen them out. By postcode. By name. By a CV that doesn’t follow the ‘right’ path. And we act surprised when roles stay unfilled.

And if we’re not careful, the gains we’ve made on equity could be quietly erased by the systems we’re building next. This isn’t just a concern for tech companies. It’s a challenge for all of us, especially those working to create fairer opportunities in employment, education, and society.
