About Us
Talent Spaces is a Tech For Good company on a mission to disrupt and transform the recruitment industry. While many organisations recognise the importance of hiring teams reflective of society and the communities they serve, traditional hiring methods often perpetuate bias and limit access for under-represented talent.
We believe the industry must evolve to create equitable systems that enable all individuals to thrive. Through our partnerships with leading UK employers, we are building a future where inclusive hiring is the standard, not the exception, as we support them to make their hiring processes more equitable, inclusive, and accessible.
This year has been a transformative one for Talent Spaces. We officially launched our Inclusive Hiring Certification Framework - grounded in research from 50+ academic papers and 10+ industry bodies - and established an external Certification Advisory Board. We delivered a major inclusive hiring audit for the NHS, and collaborated with some of the UK’s most prominent employers, including Barclays, BP, and GSK.
Our mission is to champion an equitable, inclusive, and accessible recruitment journey, ensuring a level playing field for all, and we have ambitious growth plans to scale significantly over the next year.
We’re looking for someone who is as passionate as we are about leading positive change in inclusive hiring, and to support our vision of becoming the world’s leading inclusive hiring platform, empowering organisations globally to transform hiring practices through scalable certification, upskilling, and analytics solutions that foster inclusivity, improve outcomes, and drive organisational success.
