Leadership with Purpose and Inclusion
As an executive search firm working at the leadership level, we understand the responsibility we hold in influencing how organisations are shaped. For us, inclusion is not an add-on or just a page on our website, it’s embedded in everything we do, from our core values to our daily processes and partnerships. By integrating diversity, equity and inclusion into our organisational DNA, we aim to lead by example and inspire the same commitment in our clients and candidates.
It is proven that diverse leadership and Boardrooms drive better outcomes for staff and the communities they serve. We strive to challenge the status quo in housing recruitment and the reliance on old networks and narrow ideas of ‘what good looks like’. That means broadening talent pools, providing opportunities and mentorship for aspiring leaders, and ensuring fair, transparent recruitment processes.
Inclusion at the heart of every appointment.
We are committed to making inclusive recruitment the standard, not the exception. Through every conversation, every brief, and every appointment, we work to move the dial.
Disability Confident Employers
As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we actively design recruitment processes that are inclusive, accessible and fair. All our consultants are trained to deliver searches in line with the Disability Confident Scheme, ensuring candidates with disabilities are supported at every stage.
This means:
- Any applicant who meets the essential criteria for a role and has a disability, as defined by the Equality Act 2010, is guaranteed an interview under the scheme.
- All job specifications highlight our Disability Confident status and explain how applicants can self-identify.
- Reasonable adjustments are proactively offered and consistently applied from application through to interview and onboarding.
- Communication with candidates requesting adjustments is clear, supportive and respectful, ensuring they feel confident and empowered to fully engage with the process.
Where appropriate, we also work with clients to explore ringfencing specific roles for disabled candidates, aligning with wider diversity strategies and succession planning.
Our commitment goes beyond compliance. We see accessibility as integral to building stronger Boards and leadership teams. By embedding Disability Confident practices, we ensure that talent is not overlooked, and that every candidate has a fair opportunity to contribute their skills and perspective.
Housing Diversity Network
We have partnered with the Housing Diversity Network (HDN), a not-for-profit social enterprise established in 2003. HDN is dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within the housing sector. They offer a range of services, including training, consultancy, mentoring, and assessments, all tailored to support organisations in embedding EDI principles into their operations.
Our collaboration with HDN underscores our ongoing commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive housing sector.
