Welcome to the The Progress Report series where we reveal how recruitment agency leaders are using Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to get ahead. Whether they've only just made a start or are leading the pack, we take a snapshot on what DEI means to them, what business imperatives they see around it and how they use it to increase their competitive advantage. With valuable insights on the benefits, challenges and goals for the staffing industry around DEI, our host – DE&I expert, Helen McGuire - revisits each guest three months later to see what impact Volcanic's inclusive recruitment tools have made on their business.
RBW - Part One
with James Wakefield, Founder of RBW
In this interview, Access Group’s Helen McGuire speaks with James Wakefield, Founder of RBW and Chair of ASPCo UK. James walks us through the challenges he’s faced in building RBW around DE&I and what he feels has been missing, as well as what he would like to see and achieve with the right tools and approaches.
RBW – Part Two
We caught up again with CEO and Founder of RBW Recruitment and recent APSCo Chair, James Wakefield, to get an update on the impact inclusive hiring has had on his agency since they last spoke. Exploring some of the current takes on DE&I as an approach and why he believes diversity of talent is more than just the ‘right thing’ to achieve, James explains how the changes he’s made across his business, website and hiring tools over the last six months have put him in a winning position – internally and externally - for today’s tricky recruitment climate.
