Diversity, Equity + Inclusion

At SmartSearch, we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) for our own team and for our clients. We are dedicated to placing diverse candidates because we know promoting varied perspectives and an inclusive work environment are crucial to the success and growth of any business. Our commitment to DE&I is not just the right thing to do, it’s the right thing to do for our bottom line, and for yours. Quite simply, we make diversity deliberate so that your employees and your company will thrive.

We are proud of our reputation for using innovative technologies in DE&I-focused, executive-level search. Our tools and expert guidance ensure our clients’ hiring processes promote equity and are free of discrimination and unconscious bias. By focusing on the representation of historically underrepresented talent in senior leadership positions, we advance our clients’ business goals and improve opportunities in our society at large.

• At the forefront of executive search, grounded in DE&I principles – we guarantee that our clients grow strong and equitable leadership teams. Over 50% of our placements globally are diverse – and we have a proven retention rate of over 95%.
• Unconscious bias is not only unjust, it is unproductive. Our team members are trained in using data and analytics to assess candidates based on capabilities, experience, and potential in order to pair the right executive with the right company.
• Our engagement methodologies do not rely on traditional, geography- or demography-specific talent networks; but rather, the diverse ecosystem of the digital ecosphere. By leveraging vast, modern, inclusive professional channels, we attract and engage diverse and emerging talent across the globe.
