At the Robert Walters, we are dedicated to not only implementing an effective internal EDIB (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging) strategy but also making a significant impact on the entire industry. Our commitment lies in supporting our clients in achieving their goal of diverse and inclusive hiring. Through our groundbreaking Diverse Hiring Advisory Practice and the industry-first Recruitment Inclusivity Diagnostic, we have revolutionised bias minimisation in recruitment.

What truly sets us apart is our team of exceptional Diverse Hiring Practitioners. These professionals possess extensive experience as recruiters, coupled with academic backgrounds in the career development of under-represented individuals. This unique combination enables us to offer a fresh perspective and unparalleled expertise in combating bias in recruitment.

Identifying and Mitigating Bias:

We understand that whitepapers and partnerships alone cannot eradicate bias. Thus why, we introduced our Diverse Hiring Diagnostic, built on a research-based diagnostic framework, meticulously examines all 11 stages and 257 touchpoints within a typical recruitment process. Through this rigorous analysis, we have unearthed numerous data points that disadvantage 9 under-represented diversity dimensions, including gender, ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability & neurodiversity, age, faith, socio-economic background, ex-military status, and parental & caregiving responsibilities.

Whether you are seeking to eliminate bias, create a more inclusive workforce, or enhance your recruitment strategy, our innovative solutions and data-driven approach are poised to deliver exceptional results. Partner with us to unlock the full potential of your organisation and build a workforce that reflects the diverse world we live in.
