Widening the gate, not lowering the bar
When it comes to DEI, we believe that actions speak louder than words.
At Talent, we take an active role in creating diverse and inclusive environments – both for our clients and ourselves. We believe that diversity of thought, backgrounds and experiences makes for stronger, more innovative teams. It’s that simple.
Our Journey
Tackling social injustice and promoting diversity is at the core of our vision to create a better world of work for all. The global DEI landscape is constantly evolving and as such, we are on a journey of continuous learning. We are also committed to bringing our wider community along on this journey, sharing what we’ve learnt to help educate and inspire others.

DEI Hiring Toolkit
Our DEI Hiring Toolkit provides straight-talking advice and guidance for Hiring Managers who wish to implement more inclusive hiring practices. The guide covers the core elements of hiring, from the job description, through to sourcing, shortlisting, interviewing and extending an offer. The toolkit also includes powerful advice from those working in the industry who identify as being part of various marginalised groups.
Making strides for diversity in tech
Our publication Human: Global Perspectives on Diversity in Tech features 25 individuals who are making great strides for diversity in tech around the world. The book is a collection of true-life experiences and presents the real faces transforming technology, shining a light on what we at Talent value most, the humanity of the people within our industry.
DEI Roundtable Event
The DEI Roundtable is a series of events that help bring together people and organisations who are passionate about DEI. The events aim to equip attendees with additional knowledge, partnerships and resources to help drive their diversity and inclusion efforts at both an individual and corporate level.
So far, we have done 3 DEI roundtable events. If you would like to be part of the next one, click the link below.
Supporting neurodiversity
We’re committed to increasing our education & awareness by providing neurodiversity-focused training to our staff. We’re also extending our reach beyond Team Talent by supporting events that focus on supportive internships, apprenticeships, retraining, graduate roles and more.
TALENT RISE
A hand-up not a hand-out.
Talent RISE is our charity foundation born out of the desire to facilitate real-world solutions to the barriers young people face with employment. Last year, thanks largely to the generosity of our clients, we connected over 100 young people with meaningful career opportunities. Young people like Jo Ash who is featured in this video.
If you can provide work experience to a local young person, please get in touch with Talent RISE.
Helping you build diverse teams
Empowering people to build a better world of work means bringing real value to people and organisations by building highly skilled and engaged teams, rethinking technology solutions and improving lives by creating a strong sense of belonging. We are partnering with clients worldwide to help them define their ‘better world of work’ and harness the power of diverse teams and inclusive cultures. Discover how we recently helped Berlin-based scaleup Doodle grow its team whilst maintaining its diverse culture.
