Inclusive recruitment starts here

Let us support your organisation to embrace workplace diversity, all the while achieving your diversity, social procurement, or ESG goals.

We have extensive experience collaborating with employers to prepare jobseekers for employment. We can help you find candidates, enhance their skills, and help them to overcome the barriers challenging them.

Since 2015, SSI has supported candidates across a diverse range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, abilities, and life stages, to find sustainable employment matched to their skills and qualifications.
