DIVERSITYAt the forefront of our brand, is our commitment to inclusion and diversity.

Our teams uphold these values right here in our office, by ensuring each member

of our staff feel liberated. They can express their views and preferences freely and

respectfully without persecution.

We have played an active role in promoting diversity in the national workplace,

as we partnered with STEMettes, who encourage females to enter the science;

technology, engineering and math industries, to promote skills growth at a

grassroots level.

We also collaborated with Edit Development, which held discussions about millennial

workforce. They also provide leadership and diversity training at all levels. This

partnership is never more evident than at the Tech week show, which takes place

every year in June.

We also work with Kaleidoscope, an inspirational recruitment company that offers

the youth internships and company start-up advice and capital. Together, we invest

in the future and the promise of youth

Did you know…?

“DiversityJobs.co.uk applauds the direction Salt has taken in terms of their

approach to diversity, it’s refreshing to work with an agency that sees the

opportunity to widen their appeal to a broader social spectrum and is raising the

topic to their clients rather than waiting to be asked. The recruitment industry needs

more businesses like Salt who see Diversity as an asset, rather than a liability that

has to be dealt with.” - Morgan Lobb, CEO and Founder of DiversityJobs.co.uk

CREATIVECreative brilliance can be hard to identify and even harder to harness: at salt we can spot the creative spark that will fire up your business.

Traditionally, the greatest creative talent has always gravitated towards agency

businesses, but today some excellent creative minds can also be found within

large brands. We allow you to reach both. We don’t just limit our search to LinkedIn

and Job boards; we invest time and energy into other artistic platforms that reveal

creative ingenuity.

If you are looking for a professional with a creative flair to illuminate your brand’s

potential or you require the fulfilment of an unexpected vacated role, call us for our

insights and ability to deliver on demand.

Filling highly technical roles demands deep market knowledge: at Salt we understand the talent you need and the technology they use.

Unlike other recruitment agencies, we take the time to ensure candidates are tested

on their applicable technical skills before CVs are considered, ensuring that only

honourable candidates are recognised, saving everyone time.
