Anthony Haynes writes: Hearing how organizations have worked to improve their recruitment practices can be both fascinating and instructive.

Savera UK is a leading charity working to end ‘honour’-based abuse (HBA) and other culturally specific abuse and harmful practices in the UK. It campaigns to eliminate all such practices for good, while also providing life-saving direct intervention services to survivors and those at risk.

In this episode, Afrah Qassim (Savera UK's Founder & CEO, pictured) explains the challenges of recruiting successfully to a small team. She tells the story of how the organisation has changed its processes in order to attract a field of candidates that is larger, more appropriate, and better informed.
