Diversity Equity & Inclusion
At New Town Hanover, we see executive search as a powerful lever for building more inclusive leadership. We embed DE&I principles at every stage of our process, from role design to longlisting, selection and onboarding, not as a formality, but as a foundation for better outcomes.
We work closely with clients to challenge assumptions, design inclusive briefs, and broaden access to underrepresented talent. Our research is proactive and data-led, drawing from wide networks beyond the usual candidates. We use structured, competency-based assessments to minimise bias, and we advise clients on inclusive interviewing and decision-making.
Throughout, our aim is to create fair access and lasting placements, supporting both client and candidate long after the hire. We take this responsibility seriously, knowing that every appointment shapes a wider culture. It’s part of how we work, and part of who we are.
