Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity at Foundation Recruitment

We’re as ambitious as you are when it comes to your business or career. Alongside this, we place a strong emphasis on embracing diversity and inclusivity. Treating people as individuals whilst placing a positive value on their differences is not just important for business growth but it creates a culture of respect and a place where creativity thrives. The real estate, facilities management and placemaking sectors have a traditionally male-dominated reputation. At Foundation Recruitment we believe we have a fantastic opportunity to counter this and work with you to deliver a talented, equal and diverse future workforce.

We readily invest in ED&I training. We are active members of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI) and in 2021 were awarded the Silver Standard Talent Inclusion and Diversity Evaluation (TIDE) Mark, ranking #1 in the recruitment sector for Europe and the UK. Learn more about our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The standards we maintain for ourselves of operating openly and ethically goes beyond how we work with our clients, candidates and colleagues. Giving back to local communities and worthwhile causes speaks to our values and gives our business a further sense of purpose. Find out more about Foundation’s Corporate Social Responsibility.
