INDUSTRY
CHALLENGES
The Data & AI industry, like many areas within STEM, has long struggled with creating a diverse workforce.
Despite abundant evidence highlighting how diverse workforces perform better financially, see better retention, and have higher employee and customer satisfaction, many businesses still struggle with Diversity & Inclusion at a base level.
At Harnham, we are acutely aware of the Diversity and workforce-related challenges facing employers today. As we are in a unique position to promote better D&I across the industry, we have taken several steps to ensure that our recruitment process provides opportunities and does not further the problem. These include:
SMART
PARTNERSHIPS
As industry experts, we speak on Diversity at numerous events throughout the year where we are able to encourage diverse talent pools from various groups, including universities, to pursue and flourish in careers in the Data & AI industry. We also make a concerted effort to give a platform to a diverse range of speakers at our own events, such as our bi-monthly LinkedIn Live sessions, where we often focus on diverse industry leaders and their individual stories.
We also closely partner with three key organisations:
APSCo
WOMEN IN RECRUITMENT
We are dedicated to demonstrating gender equality to employees, clients and candidates. We are part of APSCO’s Women in Recruitment Initiative, which works to attract, develop and retain female talent.
It gives individuals access to unique development tools, mentoring and networking opportunities designed to support successful and sustainable careers for women in recruitment.
WOMEN IN
DATA
A non-profit organisation with a mission to increase diversity in the data industry, Women In Data provide awareness, education and advancement to women in tech - specifically analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning and AI.
We offer training webinars and educational resources, as well as a direct referral scheme where Women In Data send us candidates looking to enter the industry or searching for a new challenge. All referrals are provided with comprehensive and tailored advice. The focus is to offer more opportunities to women in the industry, in particular at leadership levels.
BLACK IN
DATA
Diversity and equality at work is crucial not only for social justice but also for the development of a thriving and adaptable data and technology industry in a dynamic world.
We partner with organisations such as ‘Black In Data’ which aim to accelerate the pace of positive change. This in turn enables us to be able to educate the industry, support those just entering it and raise vital awareness of this mentoring organisation.
DESIGNING SEARCHES
FOR INCLUSIVITY
Our clients are increasingly looking for diverse shortlists. We approach each search with an entrepreneurial mindset, getting under the skin of your business, its culture and your short- and long-term goals. This allows us to better identify those sectors or companies where the right candidates can be found, and conduct cross-sector searches for a wider pool of diverse candidates.
We recognise that If you want to attract a more diverse candidate pool, the language you use in your job posting and interactions with potential candidates makes a huge difference. For example, a study on job postings found that those using masculine-type words like “ambitious” and “dominate” were less appealing to female applicants. We review our adverts with this in mind to help eliminate bias and remove any unnecessary barriers.

VETTING
DIVERSE
SOURCES
Our team rarely rely on the same sources when seeking out new candidates. Focusing on only the sources that we know best can result in a talent pool of similar candidates and a lack of diversity. To help ensure that our talent pool is full of diverse candidates, we can source from a variety of different places including online and offline groups dedicated to highlighting diverse candidates.
Our annual ‘State of Diversity in Data & AI’ report covers new research into gender and ethnicity splits, pay gaps, age and class dynamics, and the employee benefits divide. Conducting and reporting on this research allows us to not only better understand the market, but to share our findings with key decision-makers across the industry which enables us to guide our clients on Diversity and marketing dynamics. You can download our guides here.

ADVISING
OUR CLIENTS
Many businesses are frequently looking to improve their diversity. We work closely with our clients to advise them on how they can make increase their diversity in legal and effective ways.
Our own culture reflects the way we operate as a business and helps us influence conventions within today’s talent marketplace. Low attrition and promotion from within are the hallmarks of our truly multinational and multicultural team: our London HQ alone employs people of 14 different nationalities (speaking 13 different languages), and more than half of our global workforce is female. Additionally, our employee-led Diversity Steering Group ensures that issues surrounding D&I internally have a voice, while our CEO sits on the Steering Committee of Women in Recruitment, of which we are members.
