EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION (EDI) We take our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) very seriously and are proud of our track record in this area. We also understand that EDI is something that is very important to our clients. They want to know that they are working with a recruitment partner that takes inclusive recruitment seriously and has a real commitment to promoting EDI. From September 2019 to August 2020, 47% of our appointments were female and 19% consider themselves to be from an ethnic minority. Our approach to EDI is constantly under review and evolving. For example, in October 2021 every consultant undertook ‘Understanding Unconscious Bias’ training. It is essential for us to ensure that we are reaching the most diverse pools of candidates possible and that our selection process is free from any form of discrimination or bias. We have processes in place to ensure we are committed to EDI across every stage of the campaign, including advertising, search, selection and monitoring. PSYCHOMETRIC TESTING We utilise Thomas International for all our psychometric and intelligence profiling. We can offer the full range of assessments; however we usually recommend the Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) which is a psychometric assessment to better understand the candidates working behaviours, their strengths, limitations, communication and leadership style. We’ve seen great success by implementing psychometric testing. When chosen, we carry it out after the shortlisting and before your face-to-face interviews, keeping costs to a minimum. SUSTAINABILITY We understand our place in the world and believe we have a collective responsibility to create a sustainable legacy for our staff, their families, our clients, suppliers, shareholders and the candidates we find life changing career moves for. We work within the requirements of UK legislation but go further by embracing the spirit of the drive for sustainability. Our Board have committed to a Carbon Footprint assessment in early 2022 to provide us with the basis for further targets and improvement.
