Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to equality and diversity and we actively encourage people from all backgrounds to explore and apply for opportunities.

We also work with our clients to help them improve their equality and diversity data, enabling them to understand candidate profiles and put in place measures to improve candidate and employee experience within their recruitment processes.

The following information is completely anonymous. It is collected only for monitoring purposes and is disaggregated from your application. It is not used in the decision making in longlisting and shortlisting within the recruitment process. We hope the range of categories enables you to select your personal diversity characteristics accurately. If not, where appropriate, there is an ‘Other’ option provided with each question. You are also entitled to choose ‘Prefer not to say’, and doing so will not impact your application.
