The company is currently using technology to draw and sort through diverse candidates for early-career roles. They have hired more than 450 global positions this way since last autumn.
This unique Unilever’s hiring experience is a pretty cool thing since resumes are out and algorithms are in. in order to be able to diverse its candidate pool, the company has been relying on software in order to sort applicants and target the potential hires on their smartphones.
