As a long-standing employer partner, Euromonitor International has supported Upwardly Global’s mission in supporting immigrant and refugee professionals by implementing a human element along the way to help dismantle barriers.

A few strategies that have been successful at Euromonitor include conducting live inclusivity training, offering candidates interview feedback, and executing specialized engagement events to increase exposure to and awareness of refugee talent.

“We have asked hiring managers at EMI to commit to doing a first-round interview. We just need to do a round-one interview and provide feedback if Upwardly Global is bringing us a candidate they feel is a good match for our role. It starts with that. We have to get to know each other and create a strong feedback loop. We are committed to this, and we want to widen our exposure and be involved with Upwardly Global’s immigrant and refugee candidates on their job journeys, whether it’s a job at Euromonitor, or just supporting them in their journey wherever they may go.”
