"I want to level the playing field for Radical people and ensure that everyone has access to the jobs that they should. Since working with Radical, I’ve seen first-hand how affordable and easy-to-implement changes make a huge difference to the way brands attract, engage with, recruit, and develop talent and the value diverse talent adds in an increasingly competitive recruitment market. Even the smallest changes, like implementing a “No Salary History” policy, choosing to employ blind shortlisting methods, making reasonable adjustments for disabled job seekers and gender decoding the language used in job adverts make a huge difference in this ‘talent-short’ market. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that there is only a ‘talent shortage’ for businesses who are not willing to reimagine their old hat way of recruiting and be more Radical in their approach.”
 
Holly (officially) joined the Radical team in May 2022. We say officially because she has been part of team Radical since 2020. She became a volunteer and used her “free” time in lockdown to assist with CV-writing and interview prep for Radical candidates. We use the term ‘free’ loosely because Holly is a single mum, was working a full-time job, and home-schooling two children at the time. Two years later and Holly has become integral to the team. She brings over a decade of recruitment experience and a serious passion for all things EDI and employer branding.
Today, she leads the way in recruitment marketing and works with our partners as a critical friend to ensure that they are marketing themselves in the best possible way to attract candidates from diverse backgrounds as well as accommodating them accordingly through process and policy improvement. Want to know why your adverts aren’t attracting the right people? Holly is your answer. She also leads on all things ‘professional recruitment’ working closely with our partners to source the UK’s most diverse candidates who have the skills, experience, and aptitude to excel in your business. Holly finds you the right people to hire and is especially good at sourcing candidates for people-centric roles in a range of disciplines including recruitment, human resources, marketing, operations, sales, EDI, social value, ESG and Finance.
