Other actions we're taking to support greater female representation include...
Work with our clients to encourage greater consideration for part-time workers against the vacancies we recruit for. Impact Case Study can be found here.

Ensuring our job vacancy adverts are checked and validated to be gender neutral in their language.
Ongoing ED&I training for our recruitment consultants to increase awareness of how they can support a truly inclusive recruitment process for our clients and candidate.
