Recruitment Process
J A Kemp is committed to improving access to the IP profession and ensuring a fair recruitment process. As part of our efforts to minimise unconscious bias during the recruitment process, hiring managers will not have access to your CV until the interview stage. Selection decisions at the first stage will therefore be based solely on the information you provide in your application form. For this reason, we ask that you do not include any personal identifiers, such as your name, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, in your responses.
