#26 - Ditching the CV and Embracing Fairness - Robert Newry

March 20, 2023 • Andrew Wood (aka Woody) • Season 1 • Episode 26

In this episode, I speak with Robert Newry, CEO & Co-Founder of Arctic Shores about how CVs really are rubbish, and this is why 👇

Robert Newry, joins me on The Recruitment Reality Podcast to talk about how we're both trying to kill the CV. A lofty ambition I know...

The episode is full of facts and stories that you'll love. For example, did you know there are 150 points of unconscious bias at play when you are reviewing a CV!

There is a reason why Arctic Shores have just closed £5.75 million Series B funding round. It's because whilst everyone knows CVs are 💩, there is still no universal alternative. Robert and his team are trying to change that.
