Why does this matter and why now?
In 2024, equality, diversity and inclusion progress is at stake. EDI has slipped down the priority list of many CEOs and founders. Declarations that “EDI must die”, alongside budget cuts to EDI programmes, fit within a loud and damaging narrative that EDI is a fad which companies can pick up and put down when it’s convenient.
The analysis in this report evidences just how much more successful businesses can be when they focus on EDI right from the very start. Plus, interviews with senior leaders at Multiverse, Skyscanner, SumUp, Wise and more offer you practical advice to implement more positive EDI practices within your organisation.
Greater diversity, greater results
At Druthers Search, our ultimate goal is to get the right talent into the right seats, ensuring that no-one is overlooked during the hiring process.
As the UK’s leading specialists in diversity recruitment for the tech industry, we headhunt exceptional leaders and support every stage of the recruitment process.
There are brilliant minds waiting to break the mould, but if employers preserve traditional hiring processes, they’ll fail to evolve or create anything new.
By offering a diverse shortlist of talent, we open up new opportunities for both employers and candidates alike; enriching their businesses with new perspectives that they may not have considered before.
