Programme One

​ Addressing workplace inequality for Black talent within the Recruitment Industry.

Bruin is proud to have joined Programme One, an industry initiative with the aim of removing inequalities which are restricting and inhibiting the engagement of talented Black recruiters in the sector

Whilst there is demonstrated underrepresentation across different ethnic groups, Programme One seeks to address the historic nature of this imbalance in relation to Black experiences. Programme One is bringing the recruitment industry together to collectively reduce the inequalities which are restricting and inhibiting the engagement of talented Black recruiters in the sector. It is important for us as an organisation that we are part of this change

By joining Programme One we can play our part in achieving the ambition of removing the barriers to the recruitment of 500 more Black recruiters into our sector annually. We are signing up collectively with other recruitment businesses and as a force of companies we will be part of bringing workplace equality for Black talent within our industry. We want to be part of a long-lasting permanent programme of change, provide the landscape of opportunity for Black recruiters and allow us to have a more diverse workforce

What are the objectives?

By joining Programme One we are signing up to and are committed to delivering against four simple strategic objectives:

  1. A commitment to embedding a Diversity, Inclusion and Respect Strategy within their business
  2. A commitment to removing any barriers to hiring Black recruiters…so that our organisation matches the Black representation in our local community
  3. For every Black recruit hired there is a commitment that they have access to a mentor
  4. A commitment to widening our talent attraction methods and techniques
