Diversity Recruitment
Our Six-Step Approach To Diversity Recruitment

Statistics show that gender, ethnic and culturally diverse individuals are under-represented at the executive level. Sourcing and acquiring the best diverse talent frequently requires searching beyond the obvious markets.
This far-reaching process of diversity mapping enables us to discover diverse leadership talent wherever it is, in your industry or beyond.


Savannah Group quickly demonstrated a deep knowledge of the talent pool, and were able to call on their wide ranging network to inform the search process. We challenged them for a diverse short list of high calibre candidates and they delivered. It was a pleasure to work with Savannah on this search and I’m delighted that we were able to complete this critical appointment within our targeted timescale.
Patrick Bermingham, Group HRD



Very responsive, found quality people for us and quickly understood our culture to find people that are a strong fit. Even if there have been challenges they have always found a way to solve the problems and create solutions. The partnership and collaboration has been a positive for us.
Sebastien Froidefond, Chief Human Resources Officer



We knew there would not be many people in the market with the skill set we wanted so we needed a global approach. The added complexity of the search was the accelerated pace we asked them to work at, which they did successfully without compromising on quality.
Maira Kokkinou, VP Talent Acquisition
