Case Study: Burness Paull increases diversity and hires for potential with Arctic Shores

How Burness Paull increased diversity and unlocked candidates' true potential

Burness Paull, a top-tier independent commercial law firm, wanted to improve its graduate recruitment process and build a more diverse workforce. The firm felt that traditional hiring methods were not always effective at identifying talent with potential, so it turned to Arctic Shores and its UNA assessment to support a more inclusive, potential-based approach.

Arctic Shores helped Burness Paull implement potential-based hiring by integrating UNA into its existing recruitment process, allowing the firm to assess candidates at volume while looking beyond academic ability. The firm assessed over 300 candidates at the start of its UNA journey, received strong candidate feedback, and increased the diversity of successful hires from its most recent campaigns.
