By embracing inclusive hiring, organisations create a more equitable and representative work environment that fosters innovation, creativity, and overall success.

Who am I?
I'm a recruiter turned entrepreneur who's obsessed with inclusion. With a specific focus on inclusive hiring, I've helped many organisations reverse engineer their recruiting processes enabling them to tap into a new world of diverse talent that is otherwise slipping through the cracks. Over the past decade, I've dedicated myself to building inclusive practices within complex organisations such as Gartner, Thoughtworks, Freshworks, and most recently, Twitter.
I partner with recruiting teams to equip them with knowledge and tools to build sustainable inclusive hiring practice through:
-
Inclusive Hiring Workshops (virtual and in-person)
-
Speaking Engagements
I believe that an organisation's success lies in creating an environment where each individual's unique perspectives are celebrated, and where people feel safe to challenge the status quo.

Amy was an incredible recruitment partner for my business. She spent time fully understanding our needs and goals and was fully aligned to our outcome – a true partner. Thanks to her, we hired some incredible diverse talent which enabled our team to get not only to our annual goal, but our stretch goal across the Sales and Marketing business.
