We recognise that these values are integral to the success and vitality of our company and the well-being of our employees. We are dedicated not only to adopting these principles but also to embodying them in our daily operations, ensuring that our entire workforce is part of this journey.
In pursuit of this goal, we strive to select, recruit, train, and promote the most qualified candidates based on merit and free from bias. We are committed to treating all employees and applicants with fairness and impartiality and we adamantly oppose any form of harassment, discrimination or intimidation.
Through our services, we actively promote these values to our clients and candidates. Our recruitment approach is centered on providing the best candidate for the job which allows us to collaborate with clients and candidates to foster an inclusive hiring process. We are prepared to address any instances of discrimination originating from our colleagues, clients, candidates or within our supply chain.
Several key members of our team hold the ‘APSCo Inclusive Recruiter’ accreditation, demonstrating their expertise in ensuring an inclusive recruitment process. This accreditation not only guarantees we promote inclusivity throughout our services but also enables our clients to tap into a more diverse talent pool.
We actively seek to support our clients on their equity, diversity and inclusion journey, all employees are trained on the basics of ED&I, understanding & managing bias, ensuring adverts are inclusive and supporting their clients in this area.
Our advertising spend is measured in millions to achieve our mission of making sure that we have EVERY engineer & IT professional who is new to the UK employment market EVERY day, we are confident we have the most extensive reach in the market, ensuring that we are providing a shortlist representative of all candidates available.
We have just partnered with Diversity Jobs Recruit (10 targeted job boards) providing further confidence that we are accessing the widest possible talent pool for our clients, including those people who may have been harder to reach through other methods, for a number of reasons, – we can’t guarantee a diverse shortlist, but we can guarantee our processes are inclusive and equitable.
We maintain a whistleblowing policy and foster a culture of safety, openness and transparency, empowering employees to speak up without fear of reprisal. We encourage all our clients and suppliers to embrace this commitment as well.
Additionally, we have pledged our support to the Mental Health in Recruitment initiative, aimed at driving change in recruitment by combatting stigma and discrimination around mental health. Through these efforts, we strive to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable recruitment community.
