Building a More Inclusive Recruitment Experience
for Everyone

REUBEN SINCLAIR

Why ED&I is a priority

Reuben Sinclair want to be better. We’re not just talking about better in terms of performance or results, but better in supporting our team and tackling underrepresentation in the PR, Marketing and Digital industries, as well as using our position as recruitment experts to break down the barriers many candidates face regarding employment and their job search.

Making ED&I a priority in our business is the right thing to do. It not only creates a more inclusive and equitable workplace but it will also bring tangible benefits in terms of performance, talent acquisition, and brand reputation. For Reuben Sinclair and our clients, it’s a key driver of organisational success but more importantly it’s paramount for the success of every individual.

We know, however, that we must go beyond doing the right thing and that we are prepared to disrupt the status quo and use our influence to change outdated and inefficient recruitment principles. We aim to set a new precedent in the hope that others will follow, making recruitment inclusive, accessible and equitable for ALL candidates, and ensuring our internal environment is a fair and supportive one.

Our goal is to create an environment where everyone is welcome, can access services and identity/background/circumstances don’t impact work opportunities.

We’re excited about our evolution in the ED&I space, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you.

The Actions We're Taking

"The ED&I commitment and training at Reuben Sinclair has been outstanding. We've really invested, across the board, to make this a focal point of everything we do as a firm. 

We've received regular sessions from an external trainer, have a dedicated member of the team working on this full-time to bring in new processes for a more diverse business internally and externally, and every single member of the team has been incredibly committed to making this a success."

"I'm overjoyed to say that Reuben Sinclair have received Gold status in our very thorough 140+ point Powered By Diversity assessment process. 

Our process covers all protected characteristics plus socio-economic status and single parents and leaves no stone unturned. We can be in no doubt; Reuben Sinclair is truly an inclusive organisation."

"I started 2023 with very limited knowledge in the ED&I space, and I can proudly say this is no longer the case.

I’m more confident than I’ve ever been in having discussions in this area, which will no doubt benefit my candidates and clients.

I’m proud to work for a company which takes this topic so seriously, and I’ve no doubt this is only the start of a hugely positive change for Reuben Sinclair and our wider community."

"Reuben Sinclair is built on the foundations of solid values which enable their employees to be themselves and work in a safe and respectful environment.

They’ve built a team who represent the communities they serve and have smashed the typical recruiter stereotype - they genuinely want to be better and do better. 

They strive to do the much deeper work needed to create a workplace where everyone has the equity needed to be successful, how they can evolve the candidate journey, whilst working on services to support clients and evolve their hiring and talent attraction policies."
