Promoting Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Media Contacts has long championed the importance of rejecting unconscious bias; our MD is currently a mentor under the Women in Recruitment scheme and for years we have encouraged our clients to strengthen their D&I practices. This is a relevant issue now, more than ever and we all have a part to play.

As part of our pledge to encourage diversity and inclusion, we have been involved with recruitment’s governing body, the REC, in setting up a stricter code of ethics. We provide training to all our staff on writing competency-based job advertisements and on using competency-based questions in interviews.

To find out how you can change your processes to be more inclusive, please speak to any of our directors who are more than happy to advise.

“Media Contacts has now successfully placed 4 members of our editorial team in the past 18 months, all of a very high calibre. Ben has been highly valuable in helping us to grow as an organisation, and always invests the time to really understand and meet our needs. His knowledge and contacts in the space are second to none, and his no-pressure approach to recruitment is refreshing. Highly recommended!”

“I have worked with Media Contacts over a significant period of time, in which they have given me great guidance and insight into roles, with a great understanding of my needs and motivations. He is incredibly diligent and personable, and has worked hard to place me in my ideal role, in a company that I would not have been able to find independently. Thank you for being so patient and understanding throughout, and giving me opportunities that I never would have thought possible.”

“I’ve been working with Media Contacts for just over a year, and I am impressed with their professionalism, understanding of our market and preferred candidate, and flexibility when we change our requirements. I am consistently presented with strong candidates that usually match our requirements. On top of this, I like the collaborative, friendly manner and a refreshing approach to recruitment, an approach that is always patient and never pushy!”

Rafaella QuintonAssociate Consultant, Blue Latitude Health

“Recruiters often get a bad name and a bad reputation, Media Contacts is everything that stereotype isn’t! By far the best I have ever come across. Their interpersonal skills are second to none and they made me feel like they genuinely cared about my career and what I wanted to do.”

Jonny BallanceLearning and Development Consultant, Flow Hospitality Training

“You’ve been a great example of a proactive and thoughtful agency. I’m particularly pleased you have taken the trouble to understand our brief and person spec and only sent candidates who match that to us. We will use you again!”
