HeadFirst Group present at 9th edition Diversity Dinner
On May 27, we attended the 9th edition of the Diversity Dinnerorganized by Global People, the event where diversity, inclusion and genuine encounters take center stage. In the atmospheric Railway Museum we spoke with young, talented professionals from diverse backgrounds and shared inspiring stories. A unique evening without resumes, but with real connection.
No resume, do a good interview
The evening began with a vibrant job fair, where we interacted with promising professionals from diverse backgrounds. No resumes or application forms, but personal conversations centered on genuine interest. This accessible and human approach breaks down traditional selection barriers and creates valuable connections and insights you don't get from a paper profile.
During the three-course dinner, we were inspired by contributions from Yeliz Çiçek, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Netherlands, and journalist and best-selling author Joris Luyendijk, among others. Both shared their insights on diversity, inclusion and the power of representation. Their stories emphasized the importance of an inclusive society and labor market.
A unique aspect of the Diversity Dinner is the objective matching between candidates and employers. These matches are made based on a competency-driven talent scan from The Selection Lab. This eliminates the subjectivity of the traditional resume and allows candidates to present themselves based on their personality and skills.
