“As Chairman of DWP’s Employer Engagement on Disability Steering Group, I can vouch for the excellence that Kate Headley and The Clear Company have brought to bear in developing a very practical “tool-kit” for employers on how to recruit and retain disabled people, and they have done this through a very involving process with major and SME employers across the country.”

“I really like the guidance (and I’ve read quite a lot in my time). It is easy to read, very practical, reassuring and importantly focuses on identifying cultural, attitudinal and physical barriers that affect disabled people, and then talks about removing them. In my view it reflects and indeed promotes a social model of disability approach… in fact it indicates that the social model’s ideas are beginning to be genuinely mainstreamed into current thinking and practice. ”

“The Clear Company designed and delivered a series of workshops for the in-house recruitment teams at KPMG. We selected Clear on the basis of their best practice knowledge, recruitment and diversity expertise and ability to engage with different stakeholder groups. Our recruitment teams left with action plans and enthusiasm for change which continues to this day.”

Taking the data from the desk research, we create a stakeholder framework and follow the recruitment cycle in semi-structured, confidential interviews to ensure richness of data with consistency of approach. We dig deep, particularly around the areas of job analysis, attraction strategy, decision making, validation and monitoring and review of responses. This is a very powerful process which allows us to gain a unique and unprecedented insight and very often asks questions which have been ‘no go’ areas even for the senior team. Our consultants are trained to put interviewees at ease and inject a sense of passion and importance about getting this right.

In these interviews we are seeking further information on the recruitment process but equally on the competence of those delivering it — recruitment is very often an assumed competency in which line managers feel unable to ask for help; we will seek to explore the competence and confidence of your recruitment strategy through those tasked with implementing it.

A business support team at Clear will manage the process seamlessly, organising interviews and ensuring that day to day business functions will be unaffected.
