We Value Diversity
Diversity fuels innovation and enriches workplace culture
A Diverse candidate pool fuels success
We strive to present a diverse slate of options for every search. Over the last 3 years:
100 %
of our searches included diverse candidates in the pool
28 %
of our clients ultimately hired a person of color
43 %
of our clients ultimately hired a female executive
Education
As a team, we humbly listen and learn about diversity matters, staying informed about best practices, emerging trends and cultural competence. We work to develop inclusive language as well as behavioral interview methods to help mitigate unconscious bias in our candidate assessments.
Collaboration
We proactively collaborate with our clients to build diverse candidate pipelines and ensure that our searches encompass a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives and share best practices. We hold ourselves accountable to assess our progress, remain transparent about our goals, challenges and the steps we are taking to continuously improve.
VALUING DIVERSITY
At Herd Freed Hartz, we believe all people deserve respect and should have an opportunity to succeed. We believe diversity can be a strategic advantage that fuels innovation, enhances decision-making, and enriches our workplace culture. As executive recruiters, we understand we play a strategic part to help create a workplace that reflects the world we live in and better serves the needs of our clients and candidates. Together we strive for a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
