Inclusive Recruitment
We are experts in running inclusive recruitment processes to secure the very best talent from all backgrounds.
In the current climate, we understand that managing a recruitment process is time-consuming and organisations have limited budgets to use external agencies. With our in-depth knowledge of In-House and Search recruitment, we have designed three service levels to meet the needs of organisations at the right price.
These three services offer varying levels of support without compromising on quality to meet your unique needs, all whilst aligning with your budget and timescales. These three flexible services allow you to pick the right support level, price and speed for your hires, and meet your diversity hiring goals in the process.

Recruitment Marketing
At Diversifying Group, we’re changing the way organisations attract and engage talent from under-represented communities.
From developing your employer brand to creating targeted campaigns to promote high-priority roles, we’ll work with you to cement your place as an employer of choice amongst our diverse audience.
In a candidate-first market where competition for talent is fierce, it’s now up to organisations to develop a strong employer brand to attract, engage and retain people. And with diversity and inclusion now a priority for most organisations, it’s never been more essential to connect with candidates from all backgrounds by telling your story in an authentic way that shows you’re serious about Diversity and Inclusion (D&I).
Keeping inclusion front of mind, our Recruitment Marketing and Employer Branding team will help you grow on your diversity journey by amplifying your employer brand, company culture and commitment to inclusion. We do this through innovative and creative marketing campaigns that speak directly to diverse candidates, showing them why you are the right employer for them and reducing self-disqualification.
From one-off recruitment marketing campaigns to annual subscriptions and long-term employer branding support, we offer a range of services and prices to suit your needs.
As Diversifying Jobs, we operate three separate job boards to better serve our partners depending on their specific needs: Diversifying.io, Diversifying Leadership, and Diversifying Agencies. Our mission is to connect a diverse network of job seekers with employers who are serious about Diversity and Inclusion. Find out more.

FAQs
What areas do you specialise in?
We successfully recruit across private, public, charity and not for profit organisations. Our expertise lies in ensuring equal opportunities for everyone, particularly historically marginalised groups. This means we can apply our combined 60 years’ recruitment experience to almost every industry.
Candidate: I have applied for a vacancy online, does this mean that my details have been sent to the client?
No! We screen all applications and arrange an initial interview with suitable applicants to discuss the role further. We will then share your details with the client if we determine that you are suited to the opportunity you have applied for.
Candidate: Will you tell my current employer I have applied for roles with you?
We have a legal responsibility to protect your data under GDPR. This means we will never disclose that you’re looking for work elsewhere to your current employer, or anyone else.
Candidate: I don’t have a work permit; can I still apply?
You must have a valid work permit to apply for a role. We will ask to see evidence of this before you are offered employment. This is in line with current Home Office requirements.
What makes you different from traditional recruitment agencies?
We take a person first approach and our Recruiters do not make commission as they are driven by making a difference.
Traditional recruitment historically has been driven by the need to generate recruitment fees. This has resulted in the industry becoming all about how to find what appears to be the best match for a vacancy as quickly as possible ahead of the competition to get paid for the work. The Diversifying Group only work exclusively with organisations to remove that commercial element out of the process and to ensure that candidates are considered on their capability and not just their experience!
Candidate: Can you help me find a job?
Please take a look at our open vacancies and apply to anything that you may be interested in. We only work on live vacancies where we have been engaged exclusively which means that we do not proactively market candidates to organisations like some other agencies do. Feel free to send your CV to cv@diversifying.com so that you can be considered for future roles.
Candidate: What should I do if I require special conditions to be assessed fairly?
Fairness is at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to making any reasonable adjustments or special measures necessary and appropriate to run a fair process. Please email the Recruiter looking after the role who will be happy to listen and help.
What characteristics of candidates do you work with and support?
We work with people of all characteristics and backgrounds and treat everyone fairly. Our approach is to ensure fair processes where people are judged on what they are capable of doing and it is always the best candidate for the job.
Candidate: When can I expect feedback from my application?
We endeavour to keep in contact with you at every stage of the process. In the early application stages we will email to acknowledge it has been received but there may be a bit of a delay while we wait for the application closing date to pass (if there is one). We will always give as much detailed feedback as possible as appropriate for the stage your application reached.
Candidate: I can’t see any open roles I am suitable for, what should I do?
Please send your CV to CV@diversifying.com and we will consider you for future roles and send email alerts for anything new that may match your background and interests.
Client: Why would I use a D&I focussed recruitment organisation?
We are specialists in helping you engage and appoint talent that is different from you have traditionally looked for. We have built up a large and diverse database of highly skilled individuals from all backgrounds. Since we were founded, 72% of all of our appointments have identified as being from a diverse background so we hope our record speaks for itself.
We are not a magic wand though so cannot create what does not yet exist so before taking on any assignments we will be honest with you about the size and diversity of the talent pool you are looking to hire from.
Client: Can you help us with taking appropriate positive action?
Yes, we are very experienced in supporting organisations to take appropriate positive action through talent and attraction. Please contact info@diversifying.com to discuss this further.
How do you ensure an inclusive process?
It’s not about lowering the bar, it’s about widening the gate. Our networks are so important to us because they’re a way to ensure that we have access to the widest possible talent pools of candidates.
From a client perspective we work on an exclusive basis with organisations from the very beginning of a recruitment process right to the end to ensure that everything from the language of their adverts to the make-up of their interview panels are free from unconscious bias and as inclusive as they can be.
