We aim to achieve this through a number of key strategies, including, but not limited to:

• Ongoing development of our diversity best practices.
• Developing new, innovative and diverse methods from which to attract and select candidates. Our digital candidate mining techniques where we are searching for specific often passive job seekers will always be mindful of not only searching out the best candidates but also ensuring our search encapsulates a wide and diverse group at a minimum ensuring where at all possible it represents the area and the community within the place where the vacancy exists.
  
• When assessing candidate suitability, apply best assessment methods to ensure fair and open competition.
• Build diversity into client briefing and offer advice on current legislation and best practices to ensure objectivity.
• Ensure all clients and candidates are duly treated with equal respect.
• Using effective yet diverse multi-media advertising.
• Creative use of non-stereotypical advertising and brand awareness campaigns.
• Raising our diversity profile, e.g. through sponsorship, industry body participation and seminars.
• Actively developing relationships with other organizations supporting diversity.
