Emma Freivogel is the Founder of Radical Recruit, an innovative social recruitment consultancy that works exclusively with those who are underrepresented in the labour market. Em founded Radical to bring the corporate and third sectors together in pursuit of a better working world for the people who are most excluded from jobs. Three years on, Radical is a thriving recruitment business that is challenging tradition at every turn.

In this episode, Em and Felicity talk about the impact of the cost of living crisis on marginalised jobseekers, what small companies can do about DE&I and why the idea of a talent shortage is fundamentally untrue.
