Q: If there was one rule [the ‘key’] which RWA sticks to come-what-may, what would that be?
A: The process of putting myself in the employers’ shoes: does this candidate / shortlist meet 100% who we are looking to identify? Each time this assessment is made as if RWA were the employer. Pure and simple
