Have Your Say, Drive Change
Fair Hiring Network is an independent organisation powered by the people themselves—a community of jobseekers, employees, HR practitioners, and advocates who share experiences, insights, and voices to shape the future of work.
Launching with the UK Jobseekers Interview Experience Survey, we explore what it’s really like to navigate today’s job market. While many join from firsthand experience of the hiring process, the network is open to anyone committed to fairness, transparency, and accountability in recruitment, driving collective action for a better, more equitable system.
The aim is simple: to map the reality of the recruitment process through lived experience and drive meaningful change. By listening, documenting, and amplifying the perspectives of real candidates, we work toward greater transparency, opportunity, and trust across the UK job market. At the heart of our work is a belief that:
- Everyone Deserves a Chance
- Talent Should Meet Opportunity
- Ability, Not Background, Drives Success
- Opportunity Starts Here
The Fair Hiring Network isn’t just a project—it’s a movement of people banding together to ensure that every candidate’s experience shapes a more equitable, human-centred recruitment system.
