Driven by Diversity and Inclusion. When it comes to Executive Search Recruitment, the name of Castle Peak Group will be new to most of you.
However, when you spot that the founder is James Carss, there will be a collective nod in agreement that this will be a recruitment firm that knows what it’s doing and will be doing things the right way.
Why? For the simple reason that James is one of the most well-known and respected people in the recruitment businessÂ…especially Executive Search. That’s not just here in the North East, it’s across the entire UK. His incredible level of experience means you will be getting the sort of service you’d expect from a London-based agency rather than one here in the region.
You’ll also be able to find out precisely how James works because you’ll be dealing with him. When you make your first contact with Castle Peak Group to discuss what you’re looking for in terms of a candidate or whether you’re looking for a particular position, you’ll be dealt with by James.
Once James and his team have done their research, the process will then begin as to what happens next in terms of providing either a small, vetted group of candidates or some relevant positions that you would be suitable for. At this point you will once again be dealt with by James.
Behind everything that James does he has one driving passion.
Diversity and Inclusion.
“At Castle Peak Group we’re an Executive Search consultancy working with like-minded organisations that share our belief in the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace,” said James. “In today’s world, we know that diversity, through the lens of ability, race, neurodiversity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and beyond, helps strengthen organisations. But there is still much work to be done, and that’s something we’re actively working to change.
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve spoken to a board of directors about recruitment and then I spot that the workforce is nothing like the people I’ve just left in the boardroom. They also look nothing like the customers they’re dealing with. The boardroom should reflect the company’s workforce and customer base otherwise if can make life difficult when it comes to both parties understanding each other. If there are similarities, then it can make life a lot easier and frequently more comfortable for everyone. It can certainly make your business more efficient and profitable if all parties can relate to each other.”
These are not token or box-ticking gestures but values that James feels are close to his heart. He’s part of a mixed race family with mixed race bilingual children and also grew up with a hidden disability. Both of these factors have contributed to his desire and passion for Castle Peak Group to be different and, along with providing first class Executive Search services, also be a champion for underrepresented groups at Board level.
There’s a world of difference between saying you are a diverse workplace, and actually being one.
“We offer clients a unique evaluation framework, designed to go deep and strengthen their organisation from the inside out. We know from experience that when a workplace practises inclusive leadership and inclusive recruitment, they’ll naturally build inclusive high-performing workplaces where people are content, valued, and feel like they belong…recognising the need to address the glaring issue of inequality in the workplace.”
As we said at the start, Castle Peak Group does recruitment the right way. They can certainly help transform your business.
