Recruitment is often framed as a rational, objective process. But hidden beneath the résumés and job titles are subtle biases that shape who gets seen as "qualified" and who gets overlooked.

In this episode of The Quiet Future, Finnish-Estonian futurist Kristiina Paju explores how overreliance on titles, linear career paths, and years of experience can blind us to potential, transferable skills, and fresh perspectives. From graduates and international candidates to professionals with non-traditional backgrounds, too many futures are being filtered out before they even begin.

Through a foresight lens, Kristiina reflects on how organizations can move beyond bias and recognize talent not just for what someone has done, but for what they can become.

Join this reflective episode on reshaping recruitment for more adaptive, inclusive and futures-ready teams.
