Equitas – Gold Winner for Innovation Showcase

Why this matters

The IHR Innovation Showcase is one of the most competitive stages for recruitment technology providers. With hundreds of TA leaders and recruitment professionals in attendance, it brings together the latest tools, trends, and ideas shaping the world of talent acquisition. For Equitas to win Gold is an incredible achievement and shows the industry’s recognition of our unique approach: helping organisations hire the best candidates in half the time, with our all-in-one inclusive interview software.

How Equitas is transforming the interview process

Traditional interviews are often unstructured, subjective, and inconsistent, which can lead to bias and poor hiring decisions. Equitas was built to change that.

Our interview software empowers TA leaders and hiring managers to:

  • Run structured interviews with best-in-class frameworks
  • Ensure fairness and consistency across every interview campaign
  • Reduce bias in hiring decisions through standardised scoring and rich interview data
  • Save time with an easy-to-use platform designed for busy recruitment teams
  • Improve candidate experience by providing transparency and fairness throughout the process

This combination helps organisations to simplify the interview process and essentially hire the best candidate in half the time.

The Future of Hiring

At Equitas, we believe the future of recruitment lies in:

  • Fair hiring practices that ensure every candidate gets the same opportunity to succeed
  • Technology that supports humans, not replaces them, by enabling structured and inclusive decision-making
  • Data-driven recruitment strategies that improve hiring speed and quality while building diverse teams

By working closely with TA leaders, we’re shaping what the next generation of hiring looks like, one interview at a time.
