At TalentHunter, we believe in doing the right thing always. This ethos operates on both a commercial and a human level.
We have a practical, entrepreneurial spirit. We evolve and adapt, making smart commercial decisions that are performance-driven, yet we work with a higher purpose. We aspire to set industry standards. We want TalentHunter to be synonymous with quality and innovation.
The TalentHunter principle of doing the right thing trickles down through our organizations. It means doing the right thing for stakeholders, for our people, for our clients, for the industry we love (recruitment/talent acquisition) and ultimately for our candidates and contractors.
This policy sets out how TalentHunter aims to do the right thing and promote diversity and inclusion as an employer, and for our clients, our industry, our candidates, and the communities we operate in.
Diversity and inclusion underpin all areas of our work and services. We recognise that our customers (clients and candidates) and team members come from diverse backgrounds, with varying experiences and needs.
We are committed to ensuring diversity and inclusion is embedded into our day-to-day working practices. TalentHunter actively promotes fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion, and engagement and is committed to continuous improvement.
Through our policies and in our day-to-day work and fulfilment of our legal responsibilities, TalentHunter is committed to promoting equality and fairness and combating discrimination. This applies to everyone, particularly all groups referenced within equality legislation set out in each of the jurisdictions where we operate our business.
In order to effectively implement its commitment to being an equal and diverse organization, TalentHunter has identified the following objectives:
Provide organizational leaders with skills and knowledge to fully embed fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion, and engagement into our culture, strategy, and processes.
Provide Dignity at Work training to all team members including content on their responsibilities and relevant legislation.
Ensure that no customer or potential customer receives less favourable treatment than any other, adjusting services where necessary.
Enforce a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, bullying, harassment, and inappropriate behaviour.
Ensure fair treatment for all job applicants (internal and external candidates), which is free from bias.
Provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where everyone can contribute to their fullest potential.
Can be defined as the visible and non-visible differences between individuals. These differences can be related to race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, and gender, as well as values, attitudes, beliefs, cultural views, skills, knowledge, education, background, employment, parenthood, marital status, and life experiences.
Ensuring all those involved with or wishing to be involved with the organization, regardless of their diversity, are provided with opportunity based on their ability or potential to perform the required activity.
Unequal treatment of an individual because of their membership of a particular class or group. It may be direct or indirect and sometimes results from general assumptions about capabilities, characteristics, and interests of particular groups. This includes unconscious bias.
Has the effect of causing undue stress and de-motivating individuals. Harassment or bullying of any kind will not be tolerated and serves to undermine the safe, supportive, and welcoming environment which TalentHunter wishes to encourage.
At TalentHunter, we aim to promote diversity and inclusion as an employer - ensuring that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be justifiable.
We are committed to ensuring employees do not experience discrimination based on their race, religion or belief by:
We will not discriminate on grounds of age, gender, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, sex, or sexual orientation, providing everyone with the same opportunity to achieve their goals.
We will use a variety of methods to regularly consult with our clients and candidates, gathering their views on existing and planned services, including changes to provision.
We are committed to working with a wide range of suppliers and contractors. Diversity and inclusion will be considered during the procurement process and contractors will be expected to comply with the relevant legislation and principles of this policy.
TalentHunter will systematically evaluate its services and the effectiveness of its diversity and inclusion policy by a variety of means.
Responsibility for review of this policy sits with TalentHunter HR and Leadership team. A formal review will be completed every 2 years.
Additionally, interim reviews would be conducted when legislation changes, negative trends are identified, or external reviews indicate the need for policy updates.
