Reach

Introducing Reach

Reach is a unique Inclusive Talent Platform which supports Inclusive Organisations to attract and build a diverse talent pool and recruit more inclusively.

Many organisations cite difficulty attracting diverse talent as the leading cause of the lack of diversity within their organisation, and while some sectors and roles have well documented challenges in this area, many organisations do not have programmes in place to attract and recruit diverse candidates.

Robert Walters (2017) reported that 85% of employers identified diversity as a priority for their organisation, yet:

46%

of employers do not have programmes in place to attract and recruit diverse candidates

45%

of employers believe their current recruitment tools are ineffective at helping diverse candidates find their company

37%

of employers have a website which are accessible to candidates with disabilities, yet 72% of employers recognise that an accessible website would be effective in helping them access new talent pools

Equal Approach has been established as a leading inclusive recruiter for a number of years, which has allowed us to develop an extensive diverse candidate attraction strategy and referral network of Inclusive Partners that represent individuals from talent pools across all diversity strands.

Reach is a unique digital platform which supports Inclusive Organisations to attract and build a diverse talent pool and recruit more inclusively. Reach is not a ‘job board’ in the traditional sense, or even a diversity specific job board, it’s much more. Built on Equal Approach’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading inclusive recruiters, Reach attracts candidates from across all diversity strands using our extensive diverse candidate attraction strategy and our network of Inclusive Partners.
