In your opinion, what is “what working at ADLIB” all about?

Aside from everybody being amazing at the core recruitment day job, it’s incredibly inclusive here and it genuinely feels like we’re a collective, in it together as an employee-owned business, and on a mission to positively impact the industries we work within and the communities around them. Being able to say we’re the World’s highest scoring B Corp recruitment agency is pretty special too! It’s true that we share a collective ambition, and whilst we’re serious about doing the best job possible, nobody takes themselves too seriously. Without exception, everybody in the business is a lovely human.

What does the concept of ‘purpose’ mean to you?

To me, purpose means having a tangible, positive impact on all stakeholders that you come into contact with – be that colleagues, customers, communities and the planet. It means thinking and acting inclusively at all times, and realising it’s a journey of improvement. The learning never stops!

What does being a part of a B Corp mean to you?

B Corp is a movement, a community and a journey of continual improvement. Wearing the badge is an awesome thing, but it’s all about increasing that score as a collective, at every single opportunity. The B Corp framework is a brilliant tool for challenging yourselves in the most tangible and measurable manner – next time we’re aiming for 140 points+.

Is there a cause or issue that you are passionate about, and if so, why?

I feel extremely lucky to have had the start in the life that I’ve had, and I’m very aware of my privilege. I want to use my position, network and experience to play a key role in improving Social Mobility. I believe that if we can get more people from diverse backgrounds into entry level roles, support, develop and retain them, we can achieve true diversity in leadership roles. It’s a complex problem to solve but there are many ways in we as individuals, and the business community can drive change and make this a reality. I volunteer as a member of DMA Talent Advisory Committee, Equal Opportunities Ambassador for Babbasa, and Ambassador at MotherBoard.
