How many people with regional accents end up as CEO of a business? How many as Prime Minister or President?

That's why we're the ones doing it in this week's topic of Brainfood Live On Air.

This is a conversation we're going to have with recruiters and business leaders who themselves have directly experienced this hidden bias. We're with
We're with John Rose, Talent Sourcer (Volvo), Ashley Wallace, Tech Talent Lead (Papercup), Mel Hayes, CPO (Nash Squared) & Nick Court, Director (The People Experience Hub)
We're on Friday 9th December, 2pm GMT.
