A Few Words From Our Directors...
"I spent 20 years optimizing recruitment systems for some of the UK’s largest firms. From rewriting training programs for national agencies to troubleshooting failing divisions, my career was built on fixing broken processes.
I previously built a market-leading specialist search firm by doing one thing differently: finding talent that everyone else ignored.
Now, I’m applying that same logic to a more worthwhile problem. I realized the standard recruitment model excludes millions of disabled candidates. I’m using my experience to dismantle those barriers, and we need partners who are ready to help."
Richard Eaton
"After 12 years in a job I loved, a work-based injury forced me to stop. That’s when I discovered—first-hand—that the recruitment market is effectively closed to people with disabilities.
I realized I wasn't alone. Hundreds of thousands of skilled people are locked out of work, not by a lack of talent, but by rigid hiring processes.
I spent months speaking with charities and saw they have incredible insight, but that expertise rarely reaches the hiring teams that need it most. I co-founded this project to bridge that gap. I’m here to ensure the candidate’s reality helps you build a better, more effective process."
