In addition, Bridged will regularly feature job opportunities at Fuse on our social platforms and website, broadening access to exciting career opportunities.
Bridged will also assist Fuse in developing a more accessible and inclusive recruitment process by advising on strategies to eliminate barriers to entry. This involves using inclusive language in job descriptions to attract diverse candidates, promoting available roles across various platforms to reach a broader talent pool, and implementing feedback mechanisms to address any obstacles candidates may encounter. With Bridged’s expertise, Fuse aims to strengthen its DE&I strategy, ensuring a fair hiring process whilst reinforcing its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
Together, Bridged and Fuse will spearhead several initiatives, including:
These initiatives will be available to members of the Bridged Community Hub, which aims to further support individuals from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds who are facing barriers breaking into the industry. It is free of charge and can be accessed via the sign up form here.
