Our DEIB statement
‘Yellowcat is a freelance talent consultancy that passionately believes everyone deserves equal and equitable access to the creative industry. As a leader in our sector, we have a moral obligation to ensure our approach to recruitment is bias and barrier-free and inclusive for all, and we are enabling future generations of talent from historically under-represented backgrounds to access and thrive within this fantastic industry. We will look to continuously evolve and review our efforts, holding ourselves accountable at every stage, knowing that our work is never finished.’
At Yellowcat, we take the responsibility of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging very seriously.
We have invested in the importance of inclusive recruitment and enjoy regular training workshops which build the foundation for our supportive and inclusive future, as well as continuing to embed our DEIB values.
We apply our four DEIB pillars to ensure the integrity of our practice:
Our people and culture – our aim is that our workforce will genuinely represent all sections of society and that each employee feels respected and able to give their best.
Our clients – we are a seamless partner to clients, supporting and driving their DEIB agenda and enabling them to achieve their goals.
Our candidates – we always advocate for all candidates, especially those with any disadvantage, ensuring that the playing field is level and that we uphold an equitable recruitment experience.
Measurement – we will endlessly measure the impact of our efforts across qualitative and quantitative touchpoints.
How did we create our four DEIB pillars?
We had numerous workshops on inclusivity training with a company called Balance.
Balance is an inclusive hiring consultancy that partners with organisations to achieve an inclusive and bias-free approach to recruitment. This is done through training, audits and change consultancy all led by founder Jennie Child.
Our sessions resulted in being able to embed and align our values to four strong DEIB pillars together, meaning that everyone got involved and we came up with what we wanted Yellowcat to stand for.
