Diversity & Inclusion

Kohort Limited is committed to promoting equal opportunities and inclusion in the workplace as an employer, a provider of services, and to our suppliers. Diversity and inclusion at work are about recognising, appreciating, and, most importantly, understanding that every individual is different. We ensure that everyone is valued and respected and that their selection for recruitment, training, or promotion is always based on professional criteria.

Our employees and candidates are assessed objectively. We ensure that only their skills, qualifications, and experience are considered in the recruitment process.

At Kohort Limited, we believe it is essential to the success of our business that we appreciate and add value to the markets we recruit into on behalf of our clients.

We’re determined to lead the recruitment industry in diversity and inclusion. We work closely with our clients to ensure we source and recruit from a truly diverse talent pool. This enables us to support their diversity strategies and provide them with the best possible candidates for the roles they are seeking to fill.

In our working environment, we continually develop our understanding of and approach to sustaining an inclusive working environment. We are committed to promoting inclusion and ensuring that our employees feel valued. All individuals are different and are recognised and appreciated for this. We have built diversity and inclusion content into all training programmes and have rolled out initiatives regarding gender, parenting and sexual orientation & gender identity.

This includes mentoring, lunch and learns aimed at D&I, confidential mental health support and more. We are also working with our internal resourcers to ensure greater emphasis is placed on ensuring a broader representation of candidates from racial and ethnic minorities.

We want all our potential suppliers to understand how important diversity and inclusion are to Kohort Limited, so we will consider suppliers who can demonstrate that they hold diversity, equality, and inclusion in similar regard.

Our current monitoring data shows that Kohort Limited consistently attracts an equal gender split and that we place an equal number of male and female candidates.

At Kohort Limited, we monitor both our employees and our candidates via an anonymous online equal opportunities survey. This confidential information is stored separately from our talent management database and provides us with quantifiable data.

By analysing this important data, we can review our internal policies and procedures, such as attraction, retention, and career progression, ensuring compliance with our legal obligations and company goals.

This information is collated and processed separately from the recruitment database, so it can play no part in influencing the recruitment process. It is used for monitoring purposes only and is tracked anonymously via a code. This means we can see the diversity mix of those applying for roles, as against those shortlisted and eventually placed, without knowing the actual identity of the individuals concerned.
