Jump to navigation HOME SEARCH DISTINCTIONS PEOPLE JOIN US CREDENTIALS CSR INSIGHTS CONTACT Corporate Social Responsibility Walker Hamill is an executive search and recruitment business. It doesn’t make anything, it doesn’t have factories and it doesn’t have much in the way of direct impact on the environment. However, we still use electricity, we still produce waste and our employees still travel to and from work. So, we do the things that we can, whether it’s turning our lights and PCs off each evening, recycling, using public transport, or supporting the Cycle to Work Scheme. We believe that if you do enough small things, they end up amounting to something significant. Looking ahead, we’re going to keep striving to do more. There is however, one aspect of CSR where we can have a really significant impact, every day and that’s around being ethical and fair in the way that we treat everyone who we work with, whether they’re a client, a candidate, or anyone else who provides us with a service, or with whom we come into contact. Recruiters - people like us - are trusted with highly personal information, day in, day out. We take this responsibility incredibly seriously. We know what the Data Protection Act says. We agree with it and work really hard to ensure that we adhere to it. Fundamentally, we will not process data without permission. Likewise, we will not discriminate. On any grounds. We are proud of the diversity of our own workforce and we actively support client firms who promote diversity in their recruiting policies. Philanthropy and volunteering Philanthropy and Volunteering are ways in which we can support the people and communities around us. We have a policy of supporting clients, candidates and other contacts close to Walker Hamill in their philanthropic endeavours. We like supporting the individual and through them, a hugely diverse range of causes and charities. In the last year alone, this has included PACE, ASSERT, the William Wates Memorial Trust, The Prince’s Trust, St Mark’s Hospital, Raleigh International, Cancer Research UK, The Haller Foundation, Together for Short Lives, The Children’s Foundation, Starfish and 40tude. We may also volunteer our time and services where we are close to the cause and have assisted various charities in securing both executive and non-executive recruits. We are proud of having supported some key organisations in this way and look forward to assisting others in the year ahead.
