Diversity & inclusion

Employers increasingly recognise the business case for diversity and inclusion, and so do the candidates they want to hire.

Our approach

We help our clients improve diversity and inclusion in their recruitment, and reach diverse pools of candidates at every level of seniority.

We do that through our own network, and through partnerships with groups focused on LGBT+, ethnicity, gender and educational background.

Our team

Everyone at Mason Blake completes unconscious bias training, both internally and externally. Our consultants are active in the D&I community, and have contributed to HM Treasury’s debate on the Women in Finance Charter and to a Treasury Committee session on gender diversity in recruitment.

We also work with clients directly, including a Socio-Economic Mobility workshop with Legal & General for students from low socio-economic backgrounds.

At Mason Blake our aim is to be a credible recruitment partner to our clients, helping them build their own diversity and inclusion recruitment strategy, and a more diverse workforce.
