Here’s how our DE&I Consultancy works for recruitment:
Understanding your objectives and targets
We operate our sourcing without prejudice, bias or discrimination, however thorough objectives gathering will allow consultants to be more aware whilst recruiting.
Removing gender bias from job adverts
We are able to analyse jobs through a gender bias decoder to understand any hidden implications of language used to support gender diversity goals.
Removing unconscious bias from the selection process
Consultants review resume content – skills, experience and background first. We utilize a number of platforms, many of which anonymize candidate details prior to engagement to help remove any unconscious bias within selection.
Process Optimization
We can advise on best practice for your candidate journey to foster an inclusive candidate experience for candidates who are neurodiverse / disabled / have caring responsibilities.
Targeted marketing / events
Our additional services extend to targeted marketing campaigns and Meetup organisation / facilitation, so if of interest for your DE&I goals we could explore these avenues to assist with your objectives.
Measuring success
Monitoring where we are performing in line with your DE&I goals. We’re making conscious steps to move towards and align these expectations.
Gender Bias Decoder
Every consultant at Hirecracker® sources talent without prejudice, discrimination or bias. By using our Gender Bias Decoder tools when advertising roles we can ensure that no dominating gender stereotype phrases are being used. This is particularly beneficial when looking to increase applications from female tech candidates.
Anonymizing candidate data
Alongside this, we utilise several platforms to anonymise candidate details prior to engagement, to help remove any unconscious bias within selection. Our consultants review resume content looking only at skills, experience and background first then culture second.

In addition to recruitment support to attract diverse talent through Hirecracker®, there are a number of employer branding services clients can access through our sister brand Holler to support their objectives.
