It is time to redress the imbalance of opportunity afforded to those labelled; ‘care leaver’, ‘disabled’, ‘gang member’, ‘black’, ‘uneducated’, ‘inexperienced’, ‘homeless’, ‘criminal’, or generally, just ‘not ‘good enough’... and that is what Emma Freivogel is doing with Radical Recruit.
Radical Recruit is the only not-for-profit recruitment agency in the UK and what Emma is doing in calling out businesses who talk a big game when it comes to their commitment to inclusion, equality and diversity but whose policies fail to translate into practice is incredible.
Emma is engaging, challenging - real. And I'll know you take as much value from this conversation as I did.
