In this podcast excerpt, the speaker contrasts merely signing any client with signing the right client, emphasizing that many companies treat diversity and inclusion (DEI) as a tick‑box exercise by hiring a diversity recruitment agency without genuine commitment. The speaker shares insights from the first year of their business, which was spent building the brand and learning to identify the type of client that truly values DEI. In the current year, they are beginning to attract clients who specifically seek their services because the firm maintains a robust pool of diverse candidates, indicating a shift toward partnerships with organizations that genuinely care about inclusive hiring.

Chapters

Signing clients and signing the right clients are two very different things. If the client signs us, they can also say, well, in our diversity inclusion policy, we have actually got a diversity recruitment agency. Do you think that happens? Absolutely. Really? I definitely think that happens, 100%. Like, it's— for some companies, it is a tick box exercise. However, what we've learned from the first year is like those signs of like people that do actually care about DEI and like companies that do actually care about it. So first year was all about kind of getting the brand right, getting out there, figuring out what the right client looks like. And then this year, we're now starting to see clients that actually use us purely because we are, we have a bank of diverse candidates.
