MRG Commitment to Equality and Diversity
Advertising
The system scores candidates against pre-agreed experience competencies. Those candidates scoring the highest are then selected. This process ensures all candidates are treated fairly and equally as they are selected based purely on experience in a competency outlined and set by the client.
All MRG adverts comply with anti discrimination legislation and are carefully worded to ensure that they are not written in a way that stereotypes or encourages people to believe that the position is only suitable for certain groups of people. Unless requested we advertise all our vacancies online with leading online job boards, and public networking sites. This ensures we can attract candidates from the widest pool available and gives fair accessibility. Adverts can include specific sign offs that encourage applications from specific sections of the community where they are under- represented. We would discuss this with relevant stakeholders and agree before publishing any adverts.
Inclusive by design We’re passionate about diversity and inclusion, and actively work on advancing it both within our own workplace and the clients we support. Proudly, our entire approach to recruitment is built on an inclusive foundation. We’ve built a rigorous recruitment process that’s inclusive by design. It’s objective and unbiased, replacing instinctive decision- making with transparent, systematised methods. Time and again, it results not only in more diverse workplaces, but more successful ones.
Equality and Diversity at MRG
The MRG team have completed the Marshall Unconscious Bias training. As a business we are committed to a gender diverse workplace, and have an approximate 50% female and 50% male gender balance across our own business. The strategies and processes adopted by MRG in this section have ensured that we have achieved considerable success in shortlisting and facilitating the appointments of candidates from underrepresented groups. As a business we are committed to embedding a strong equal opportunities culture and monitoring diversity is a crucial component of ensuring a successful strategy.
Search
We search by Organisation and Job Title thus removing the opportunity to stereotype. The full Search Report is available to the selection panel at the conclusion of the campaign. This report shows the full candidate pool and all the prospective approaches made.
Selection
Programme Management
MRG has a recruitment and selection methodology in place to ensure that recruitment decisions are based solely on merit and are free from any forms of discrimination or bias. As detailed earlier in this document we employ a Weighted Selection Matrix to select candidates for our long lists.
A pre-agreed programme ensures that we are transparent, prepared and aligned with the client in order to generate the strongest possible shortlist in the time needed.
