Diversity in Recruitment
All employers are responsible for creating recruitment processes that provide equal opportunities for everyone. But its about more than just ticking boxes. Inclusive recruitment is about creating and maintaining a culture that celebrates difference and inspires creativity.
Adopting practices that prioritise diversity and foster an inclusive work environment can help attract the best applicants for a role, resulting in more effective and productive teams.
CharityJob’s guide explains how to build better hiring practices, inspire collaboration and inclusivity, and audit your recruitment practices.
This guide from CIPD contains practical, evidence-based actions, aligned with international standards for inclusion and diversity, which employers and hiring managers can implement to make the recruitment process more inclusive. They include case studies showing inclusive recruitment in practice, and provide some caution around common actions that may hinder inclusivity.
It’s our responsibility, as a sector, to make sure volunteering is accessible to everyone. An inclusive volunteer environment is not just welcoming—it’s fair. Equality is about recognising that individual volunteers are different and ensuring equal access to the opportunities available. Every volunteer brings something special to the table, and the more you diversify, the more your charity gains. CharityJob provide some simple steps to creating inclusive opportunities for volunteers.
Radical is a recruitment consultancy working exclusively with people from marginalised communities.
