futureproof and Arctic Shores Team Up to Discover Tomorrow’s Tech Talent
An innovative bid to discover the top tech talent of tomorrow
A pioneer in psychometric assessment has partnered with a leading tech training platform to double its trainee intake to 400 in 2022. Instead of screening potential candidates using traditional methods – for requisite skills and experience – Arctic Shores and futureproof (yes, it is lowercase) instead joined forces to measure curiosity, drive, resilience and the ability to collaborate, vital skills for the future of work.
This partnership aims to uncover and foster the tech talent of tomorrow, with a specific focus on diversity and inclusivity.
Doing things differently
futureproof is known for its innovative approach to tech training, preparing individuals for the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Arctic Shores, on the other hand, is renowned for its unique behavioural assessments, which enable organisations to identify talent objectively and without bias.
By combining their strengths, futureproof and Arctic Shores are embarking on a mission to uncover hidden tech talent – and it doesn’t involve the traditional (and purportedly outdated) methods mankind’s been using for aeons! Their strategy involves using Arctic Shores’ behavioural assessments to identify individuals with the potential to excel in tech roles. futureproof will then provide these individuals with the training they need to thrive in the tech industry.
A key focus of the partnership is to enhance diversity in the tech sector. By using objective, behaviour-based assessments, futureproof and Arctic Shores aim to eliminate biases that often hinder diverse talent from being recognised. This inclusive approach opens doors for individuals from all backgrounds, ensuring that the tech talent of tomorrow truly represents the diverse society we live in.
The changing face of tech
The futureproof/Arctic Shores partnership represents a significant stride towards a more inclusive tech industry. By identifying and nurturing talent from diverse backgrounds, they are not only promoting diversity but also ensuring that the industry benefits from a wide range of perspectives and ideas.
Moreover, this partnership reinforces the importance of continual learning in the tech industry. By providing targeted training to individuals identified through Arctic Shores’ assessments, futureproof underscores the value of upskilling and reskilling in an industry marked by constant change. A dynamic workforce better equipped to deal with the problems of tomorrow? What’s not to love?
The partnership between futureproof and Arctic Shores presents an exciting new approach to uncovering the tech talent of tomorrow. By combining objective behavioural assessments with tailored tech training, they aim to foster a more diverse and inclusive tech industry – a space that, despite recent strides, still has a reputation as a boy’s club. This collaboration reminds us that talent exists in many forms and places and that through inclusive practices and continuous learning, we can build a more diverse and innovative tech industry for the future.
Tomorrow’s tech talent is out there – it’s just up to today’s companies to continue innovating to find it.
