Diversity, Inclusion & Equality
By pooling experiences, knowledge, and ideas from a diverse collective, we can come together and create truly great things.
As a recruitment agency, we are aware that equality is important. Being at the forefront of our client’s hiring plans, we are committed to using our unique position to help businesses within the Technology and Engineering spaces develop effective D&I strategies.
We recruit without bias, working with our clients to ensure that they provide equal opportunities for employment without regard to ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, neurodiversity, disability or any other quality which makes a candidate unique.

Wellbeing
Attitudes to mental health and wellbeing within the work place have changed dramatically over recent years. Employees, particularly those within the GenZ and Millennial brackets, now expect a level of wellbeing support to be available through their employer.
The changing nature of work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has also greatly impacted the workforce; the Office for National Statistics found that around 1 in 5 (21%) adults experienced some form of depression in early 2021; this is an increase of 19% since November 2020 and more than double the figure observed before the pandemic. Placing an emphasis on individual well-being has never been more critical to broader organisational health and your business’ prosperity.
