Campaign LGBTQ+

We are proud to share that we have been highly recommended in the category of 'Best Industry Group Inclusion Advocacy Initiative' for the Recruiter Investing in Talent Awards. Our founder, Derek Mackenzie, established the UK's first peer-to-peer LGBTQ+ business network for the recruitment industry last year. Our vision is to create safe and inclusive workspaces for LGBTQ+ staff. By sharing ideas and strategies to promote inclusivity, we aim to increase LGBTQ+ representation in the recruitment industry and foster a sense of togetherness. As we continue to make progress, we are excited to see what our events will bring in 2024…

With Pride month coming to a close, we hope you have all enjoyed the celebrations.

Last week, the Proud Science Alliance event, co-hosted by BioTalent and Race in STEM, brought together a diverse group of experts for an eye-opening panel discussion and networking event. The lively discussions emphasised the significance of embracing intersectionality within the STEM community. Check out some of the fascinating takeaways from the event! A big thank you to all who joined us.

We believe that you should be able to bring your authentic self to work and enjoy a supportive and friendly environment. While there are allies outside the queer community, have you ever hesitated to come out and be yourself at work in order to avoid uncomfortable discussions about your personal life or future plans? We want to hear your thoughts around this important topic! Marie Cuffaro, Jake Freeman, Ellen Mulvey, Derek Mackenzie, Seba Dyer, Lucy Morgan, Rhiannon Grace Broad, Lauren Adams

Pride month celebrations started with a bang at Bruin with an amazing cultural day that brought everyone together to learn, share, and celebrate unique perspectives from LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies.
