Driven by Diversity and Inclusion
When it comes to Executive Search Recruitment, the name of Castle Peak Group will now be familiar to readers of Northern Insight.
Since the turn of the year, we’ve been featuring the company every month, looking closely at what they do, how they do it and why they are leaders when it comes to finding not only the right executive who can fulfil a particular role, but the right person who will reflect the business’s level of diversity and inclusivity.
We’ve been reflecting on a key piece of research carried out by Castle Peak Group which looked at diversity at executive and boardroom level.
But what about the man who was behind the research?
He’s the founder of Castle Peak Group, James Carss.
Many of you will recognise his name. He’s one of the most well-known and respected people in the recruitment business… especially Executive Search…here in the North East and across the UK. He’s also worked extensively abroad. His incredible level of experience means you will be getting the sort of service you’d expect from a London-based agency.
And when you make your first contact with Castle Peak Group, we can guarantee that you won’t be hanging on the telephone as you are passed around the office while someone desperately figures-out who you should be talking to.
Why can we guarantee that? Simple…because your first contact will be with James Carss. Bingo…you’ve gone straight to the top and you will be discussing precisely what you’re looking for in terms of a candidate or vacancy, with him.
James then puts wheels into motion and he and his team will provide you with a small, vetted group if you are looking for a candidate, or some relevant positions if you are looking for a new position or career. 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.
“Directors, board members and senior executives of any company, should reflect the company’s workforce and their customers,” said James. “If they don’t, it can be very difficult to have any sort of discussions. This can have ramifications in terms of keeping staff fully on board and maintaining morale, and affect your sales for the simple reason that customers prefer to deal with people they feel understand their needs. If there are similarities, it makes life a lot easier and frequently more comfortable for everyone. It can certainly make your business more efficient and profitable if all parties relate to each other.”
Castle Peak Group have done extensive research into diversity and inclusivity within the workplace…it’s called Progress Under Pressure. This in-depth piece of work noted that businesses and organisations with a diverse and inclusive culture saw operational benefits including better decision-making at board level and improvements in customer experiences.
If you are wondering how you can find out whether your business is inclusive and, if it isn’t, what you can do about it, Castle Peak Group can help. They offer a service where they study a business via a unique evaluation framework. They’ll show how to develop a workplace which practises inclusive leadership and inclusive recruitment, and how this can steadily build high-performing workplaces where people are content, valued, and feel like they belong. It’s a win-win.
As we said at the start, Castle Peak Group does recruitment the right way. They can certainly help transform your business.
