Digitalization and Technology are both under-utilized when it comes to solve the diversity and the gender equality challenges we face.  Now, Impactpool applies for public funding to take their AI-algorithm to its next level and to establish the Fair recruit and search console. A recruitment algorithm trained on impact jobs and on global impact talent profiles to better handle bias related to culture, age, name, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities and more.  Now you can join force and build the Fair recruit and search console, exclusively built for  the impact sector. Just submit the form at the end of the article and let us together hit the ground running. 

In 2024 Elon Musk will land the first Humans on Mars. 4 years later, in 2028, the United Nations target to reach gender parity.  At Impactpool, we gather top talents to solve global challenges, and we know that achieving gender parity in 2028 is a piece of cake compared to land Humans on Mars. 

According to PWC, 83% of the world’s Master’s Students are prepared to take a 15% pay cut to have a meaningful and impactful career.  Students and alumni around the world dream of working to make a positive social impact, but very few outside of this sector know how to approach this sector and create a career in this space.

Today is the International Women’s Day, and what could be a better way of celebrating this day then launching two white-papers that serve to modernize the geographic quota calculation of the U.N. and of other multilateral and International organizations.

The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres has launched an ambitious strategy to reach gender parity at the senior levels of leadership by 2021, and ultimately in 2028 across the whole United Nations. But how true is this System-wide Strategy on Gender Parity and its recommendations? We believe there's a high risk that this strategy only will keep the status quo. Impactpool wants to speed up the process to reach the parity goal by building the world's largest pool of qualified women.

Did you ever think that most of your candidates would be the ones that are passive? They are content with their current job or at least not actively looking for a new job. To catch their attention and to stay in touch with them, you need to be seen on social media.  Social media, that has become today's go-to platform for information for almost anything and most certainly for jobs that want to be matched to those hidden talents.
