Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Sewell Wallis
At Sewell Wallis, diversity, equity and inclusion isn't a box ticking exercise - we've worked hard to weave it through everything we do. As a recruitment business, we sit between candidates and clients every day, which means the way we operate has a direct impact on who gets a fair chance at opportunity, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We want our team, and the candidates we represent, to be treated fairly, with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are. We've built a workplace and a recruitment process that welcomes people from different ethnicities, genders, religions, ages, backgrounds, abilities and sexual orientations, and gives everyone a genuine, equal chance to contribute and succeed at work.
We Recruit Inclusively & Ethically
Diverse candidate shorlists
We provide diverse shortlists as standard, and put candidates forward based on their merit and ability to do the job.
Blind CV screening
We use blind CV screening where requested, removing identifying details so candidates are assessed on skills and experience, rather than assumptions.
Unbiased job adverts
We draft our job adverts with neutral language based around essential skills, encouraging all suitable applicants to apply.
Consultant training
We train our consultants on inclusive hiring practices, ensuring they understand how to recruit inclusively and are kept up to date with current best practice.
