Spotlight are committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and work in partnership with our charity and not-for-profit clients to ensure they are supported in building an inclusive culture and working environment that focuses on equal opportunities for all. We help our clients identify and address diversity challenges through more inclusive search, and engage with the broadest range of candidates to support diverse talent pools.
We offer support and advice to clients who want to use blind recruitment practices, or learn more about unconscious bias training and are able to offer a range of psychometric testing options to support unbiased assessment of a candidate’s suitability for a role.
Meaningful change takes time and we engage with the broadest range of candidates that will support our charity clients’ inclusive recruitment goals.

What our clients say
I went to Spotlight looking for a marketing recruiter that could source a range of quality and experience for me, having been frustrated with less specialist companies. They took the time to understand what we wanted and why, and worked hard to get us just the right candidates. I have used them several times since, they are consistently excellent – they always make the recruitment decision hard, because they bring a lot of good options.
We used Spotlight for two roles, they gave us some excellent candidates and supported us through the whole process. We were really impressed with the candidates, we found them to be personable and were impressed with their presentations and answers to our questions. We really liked all three of them and it was a super difficult decision!
