Executive Search Survey: Diversity & Inclusion - The Role of Executive Search

 As organizations seek a diversified workforce, Invenias set out to discover what role, if any, executive search firms play in driving greater diversity in recruitment. In partnership with MIX Diversity Developers, a boutique consultancy firm specializing in D&I, Invenias have undertaken a global survey of executive search professionals to ascertain the impact that diversity is likely to have on their working practices and business strategies in the future.

Preliminary responses from more than 400 executive search professionals suggest that D&I is a key agenda item, with over two thirds of respondents stating that it will be 'highly important' to their clients in 2019.
