OUR EDI COMMITMENT

As a recruitment practice, we are a gateway into the charity and for purpose sector for many people. It is our commitment to live up to the highest inclusivity standard we can.
 
Long listing criteria can be daunting, so we will work with our partners to ensure it can be as accessible as possible from the outset. Nevertheless, some candidates will not apply for a role unless they feel they meet 100% of those criteria. We will work with candidates to help encourage them to apply and build up their confidence to ensure we are levelling the playing field, creating equitable processes.
 
At every stage of our recruitment processes we seek to search for talented candidates from all backgrounds, irrespective of factors including, but not limited to, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnic or national origin, or disability and we are clear that applicants who meets objective criteria are welcome.
We seek in each of our processes to work with our partners to put together the most inclusive process possible. We can work with our partners through consultation to include:
 
  • Work through the personal specification and JD to remove any barriers to qualified applicants coming forward
  • Discuss with our charity partner what flexibility they can offer to allow them access to talented candidates
  • Anonymising CVs, removing education institutions and removing additional detail related to protected characteristics
  • Anonymised submissions that takes out all characteristics
  • Monitoring and reporting on applicant diversity metrics
  • Bringing together a set of questions based on values and competencies that can be judged anonymously, with CVs only coming in after shortlisting for interview
  • Using standardised application forms rather than CVs
 
We are always seeking to improve our processes and our commitment to equity in the world of recruitment. If you would like to make any comments, put forward any suggestions or would like discuss how we design our processes then please get in touch on
