"MyPeople enables recruiters and talent acquisition managers to move away from a binary choice of 'suitable or unsuitable' candidates by providing them with the tools for more meaningful metrics to assess which candidates to put forward. The sector's current focus is on whether a candidate currently has the skills required, usually shown via a CV with little thought given to how a candidate will perform in the environment in which they will work; their new team! We are honoured to help people find jobs that provide them with meaning and purpose. Thank you to Paul and everyone at The FSE Group for understanding our ethos and supporting us through this funding round."
