Let’s be honest—too many recruitment agencies still treat DE&I like a checkbox.
But when done right, it’s not just a moral imperative. It’s a strategic differentiator.
In this 45-minute online session, Jo Major, founder of Diversity in Recruitment, will unpack why DE&I belongs at the core of retained search—not hidden at the back of a pitch deck. And more importantly, how it helps you:
🏆 Win better-quality work
🏆 Build deeper client partnerships
🏆 Get paid for your expertise—not just your sourcing
🏆 Show up with a proposition that’s genuinely different
Retained work gives you space to slow down, challenge bias, and design inclusive processes that actually deliver. This session is all about how to make that happen, practically and profitably.
You’ll learn:
✔ How to turn DE&I into a clear competitive advantage
✔ The commercial case for inclusive search (that your clients will thank you for)
✔ How to build a DE&I-led value proposition that lands—and wins
✔ Where agencies get it wrong (and how to fix it)
✔ What inclusive search looks like from sourcing to shortlisting
This isn’t about token gestures. It’s about doing better recruitment—and getting better results because of it.
