Diversity and Inclusion

At The Animal People Recruitment Company, diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords – they’re deeply embedded in everything we do. From the way we run our business to the recruitment solutions we deliver, we’re committed to creating a fair, transparent, and inclusive experience for every client and candidate.

Inclusive Recruitment Starts With Us

We take pride in being a team that champions equity, collaboration, and individuality. Our internal culture is built on respect and authenticity, and we bring that same energy into every search, placement, and client partnership.

Diversity and inclusion recruitment runs through the very core of our company. Our team is trained and educated on best practices to ensure every touchpoint is free from bias and built with purpose. We don’t just talk the talk – we ensure every candidate gets a fair, respectful, and empowering experience.

Supporting Our Clients with Confidence

We support our clients by integrating inclusive recruitment strategies into every stage of the process. Whether you're hiring your first D&I lead or looking to ensure your internal hiring is reflective of a modern, inclusive workforce, we’re here to help you get it right.

From entry-level roles to senior leadership positions, we’ve successfully placed candidates in diversity and inclusion-focused roles across the Pet and Animal Health sectors. We understand the impact that diverse teams can have on performance, innovation, and retention – and we help you build that into your organisation from the ground up.

Our Diversity & Inclusion Cycle

To ensure accountability, consistency, and clarity, we’ve developed our own bespoke Diversity & Inclusion Cycle. This framework is designed to:

• Promote transparency across the recruitment process
• Educate hiring managers on inclusive hiring techniques
• Remove unconscious bias in candidate shortlisting
• Create safer, more welcoming environments for all
• Encourage diverse talent to engage confidently with your brand

Let's Build a More Inclusive Industry Together!

We’re proud to be a recruitment partner that doesn’t just support diversity – we actively drive it forward. Whether you’re looking to review your hiring practices or build a full D&I strategy, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
