Diversity & Inclusion
The success of any business depends on its people.
By capitalising on what is unique about individuals and drawing on their differing perspectives and experiences a client can add real value to their operations by widening the talent pool in which they are fishing.
And, as recruitment consultants are often the first touchpoint a candidate has with a client company, getting the equality, diversity and inclusion right from the outset is paramount if we are to eliminate bias from the process.
Striving for equality, diversity and inclusion
Striving for equality, diversity and inclusion should be the basic tenet of any recruiter, choosing the right candidate based on their skills for a particular job should be the start point, not a retrospective review of a box-ticking exercise. We’ve all read examples of how unconscious bias has eliminated the best person for a job, and that’s where we, as recruiters must make a stand.
By helping our clients to recruit and develop talent from the widest possible talent pool we can help them to benefit from different cultures and groups where everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
