Short summary
Almost a third of the workforce will be generation Z come 2030. Already, 83% of them would not consider an employer that has made no commitment to DE&I. Therefore, it is high time companies started up traineeship and graduate recruitment that is unbiased.
Dennis Damoiseaux (Head of Talent Acquisition, Employer Branding and Candidate Services at FrieslandCampina), together with his team, noticed that there was a huge drop off in the number of trainees after 2 years. Eager to tackle this problem, talent acquisition at FrieslandCampina overhauled their traineeship recruitment process, replacing traditional assessments with gamified assessments, removing biased job criteria that were harming the talent pool and finally also doing away with the CV.
This huge transformation in mindset and processes helped FrieslandCampina adapt to the labour market conditions and become futureproof, as well as it impacted their hiring targets positively as well as candidate experience.
