Challenges

Banks did not dare deviate from their education requirement for candidates without some form of evidence.
This excluded (unfairly) many candidates.

Solutions

The Challenge

Scarcity in the labour market caused BOLD People to struggle to fill all openings at a Dutch bank where a bachelor's degree was a requirement. Banks did not dare deviate from their education requirement for candidates without some form of evidence, which unfairly excluded many qualified candidates.

The Solution

In collaboration with The Selection Lab, BOLD People was able to demonstrate that candidates without a bachelor's degree had the required intelligence level. As a result, the bank relaxed its hard requirement for a bachelor's degree, giving BOLD People a larger candidate pool to draw from and enabling more than 10% more placements.

‘We are very satisfied. The tool is very user-friendly and because of the affortable pricing, we also save a lot in costs.’
