Equitas app is turning heads with its seamless interview solution

Equitas is a job app that's so far made it to the finalists of Invent 2019 - only one of twelve. Co-founder Michael Blakley spoke with Emily McDaid from TechWatch to learn more.

Michael Blakley is passionate about leveling the playing field in companies’ recruitment processes, ensuring job candidates are given a fair and equal chance of being hired.

He spent eight years in London freelancing as an assessment consultant, where he looked after “the final part of the recruitment process after thousands of candidates are narrowed down to the final few”.

His major clients at the time were Transport for London and the Prison Service. Both organisations wanted to ensure their employees represented the people they served – in other words, diversity was key.

Blakley previously lived in China, beginning his quest for inclusion. He said: “When I lived in China I was part of one of the most diverse teams I’ve ever been involved with. My Chinese rugby team had Americans, South Americans, Europeans, Chinese nationals – amongst 15 players there were more than 20 nationalities represented.”
