Balancing Purpose and Profit.

We are an employee-owned Recruitment Agency operating within the Technology, Agile Product, Data, Engineering, Science, Sustainability, eCommerce, Marketing, Design sectors. Proudly B Corp certified, our mission and impact go far beyond recruitment.

We immerse ourselves in the worlds we operate in. A trusted partner, supporting growth and success at pace since 2001. We believe business can be a force for good, and at the core of all great organisations, are great people. We connect ambitious organisations with equally ambitious talent, balancing profit and purpose.

Our highly respected and experienced team is regularly called on to share their unrivalled knowledge and bring the finest talent together with ambitious start-ups, thriving SMEs, agencies of all shapes and sizes, challenger brands and global organisations.

We are B Corp certified

What does B Corp mean to us?

In 2019, ADLIB joined a growing global community of B Corps. From the outset, this was our starting point to evolve, a framework that would sharpen our focus and hold us accountable to building a business that truly balanced profit and purpose. In 2020 ADLIB became the world’s first 100% employee-owned B Corp recruitment business globally. In 2023 we received a recertification score of 130.3. An immensely proud moment in ADLIB history.

 

More about B Corp

So much more than a recruitment company:

We’re committed to creating working environments that are inclusive, empowering and respectful. We invest time and resources into civic engagement activities.

We believe in stakeholder capitalism.

Commitments

We’re committed to being the best version of ourselves possible, knowing full well there is always room for improvement. We’re home to a brilliant team, fully invested into B Corp. Collectively we set our annual commitments and work as a team to deliver them.

  • Quarterly and annual charitable giving to MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians), The Grand Appeal (Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity), Invest in ME Research, Cancer Research UK and Feed The Homeless Bristol.
  • Investing into HeyFlow, our sister company which empowers businesses to understand the impact of women’s reproductive health in the workplace.
  • Tracking our carbon footprint, building effective policies to support reduction and offsetting to gold standard projects.
  • Our D,E&I leadership investment will result in the rollout of an inclusion awareness programme across the entire business by early 2024. We will maintain our healthy worker score and start the process of building an inclusive leadership team as we work through the next phase of our employee ownership model.
  • Employee ownership creates an infinite business model. We will strive to better our gender balance at all levels and build an inclusive board of directors as we enter ADLIB’s next chapter. Furthermore, our MotherBoard Charter will deliver its annual impact report, highlighting the achievements of its Charter members, and increasingly use the data provided to support organisations fighting for legislative change at the government level.
  • The introduction of a data storage strategy across our CRM, website and internal documents, email management systems to significantly reduce our storage footprint.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

We believe changes need to be made to the way businesses attract, recruit and retain diverse talent. Recruiting a diverse and inclusive team is proven to bring multiple benefits, from increasing candidate attraction and brand perception, bridging skill gaps, increasing staff retention and driving better business performance.

True Diversity


We have invested into HeyFlow. HeyFlow supports businesses in understanding their female* workforce better. Reproductive health doesn’t stop in the workplace, neither should your policies. Through insight-driven surveying, confidence-building training, and policies written for real life and real people, HeyFlow equips, enables and educates leaders, managers and employees to build a truly inclusive company.
