A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
You can’t manage what you don't measure. We undertake detailed diversity monitoring across all of our projects.
We adapt our attraction strategy to factor in your diversity needs, and constantly look to build our reach. We’re committed to helping you attract, appoint, and onboard diverse talent.
A Toolkit for Inclusive Recruitment
Are you looking to design an open, inclusive recruitment approach, but can't decide where to start? Are you looking for ways to challenge or improve your existing hiring processes? Our Inclusive Recruitment Toolkit is a succinct and accessible collection of practical ways to advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the area of talent acquisition. It has been downloaded over 7,500 times.
Partnerships
We’re open to new partnerships in service of inclusive and resilient leadership. Our team runs its own EDI events, is a proud sponsor of the JobShareHackathon Movement and mentors for Leader’s Plus
PLANTING THE SEED
The work of creating a diverse team begins with embedding a culture of equity and inclusion.
Upon request, we can design entirely bespoke search and selection processes that both demonstrate your DEI commitment and assesses candidate fluency around this agenda. If you have concerns about unconscious bias, then we can provide name-blind and salary-blind longlisting.
