We will not assess you based on your CV. You will be redirected to Equalture. At NRF, we aim to ensure equal opportunities for everyone who applies by evaluating candidates based on objective, scientifically proven insights rather than gut feelings. In 2023, we took a significant step toward eliminating unconscious bias in our recruitment process. In collaboration with Equalture, we have implemented a gamified system where candidates are evaluated through a series of engaging, neuroscientific game-based assessments at the start of the process. These games focus on the cognitive abilities and behaviors relevant to the position offered.

We believe that having a more diverse team enriches our decision-making process by incorporating different perspectives. Traditional recruitment methods, based on CVs and motivational letters, are often biased by factors such as gender, age, nationality, etc. However, with our recruitment-through-assessment approach, all these factors are disregarded, allowing recruiters to focus on what truly matters: a candidate’s potential. This way, we ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to apply.
