The Chartered Institute of Personnel and development (CIPD) have compiled research from employers over a number of years on best practice on how to recruit with conviction.

You need to register with their site to get access to the information but it is well worth reading.

The bottom line is that visionary employers see untapped potential and recruit with conviction. Look beyond the label,  overcome your stereotyping and recruit with conviction.
