ABOUT SALTSALT | +44 (0) 20 7928 2525 | www.welovesalt.com
SALT'S GLOBAL OFFICES
DIVERSITYAt the forefront of our brand, is our commitment to inclusion and diversity.
Our teams uphold these values right here in our office, by ensuring each member
of our staff feels liberated. They can express their views and preferences freely and
respectfully without the fear of being judged.
We partner with The Big Issue Foundation to enable financial inclusion through
digital transformation, supporting a programme to have more vendors using
payment portals rather than carrying cash, which is a safety threat to those working
on the streets.
We have played an active role in promoting diversity in the national workplace,
partnering with STEMettes, who encourage females to enter the science, technology,
engineering and math industries. This helps to promote skills growth at a grass-roots
level and to actively participate in techUK diversity programmes.
We collaborate with Edit Development, which holds discussions about millennial
workforce. They also provide leadership and diversity training at all levels and have
trained our sales force on unconscious bias. This partnership is never more evident
than at the London Tech Week show, which takes place every year in June.
We also work with Kaleidoscope, an inspirational recruitment company that offers
youth internships and company start-up advice and capital. Together, we invest in
the future and the promise of youth.
Did you know…?
“DiversityJobs.co.uk applauds the direction Salt has taken in terms of their
approach to diversity. It’s refreshing to work with an agency that sees the
opportunity to widen their appeal to a broader social spectrum and is raising the
topic to their clients rather than waiting to be asked. The recruitment industry needs
more businesses like Salt who see diversity as an asset, rather than a liability that
has to be dealt with.” - Morgan Lobb, CEO and Founder of DiversityJobs.co.uk

WHY SALT?Any industry that has witnessed radical change and
significant growth requires the services of specialised
teams. Most of our consultants are industry natives and
have prior contacts and experience working within a
specific vertical niche market.
We also provide constant updates and advice on
market trends, salary benchmarks, and competitor
analysis to inform your business development. You will
only collaborate with experts who truly understand
the often highly technical requirements of the roles in
question - our specialist experience allows you to see
better candidates faster.
Ability to deliverOur successful track record of placements across the
UK and Europe is illustrated by our client portfolio, and
testimonials from global brands.
We cast a deep net across both active and passive
candidate markets to reach the market of applicants,
particularly within the upper-quartile talent group. With
a team of global consultants proactively headhunting
hundreds of off-market candidates each week, we give
you the power to meet those game changers who will
deliver a strategic advantage, when you need it most.
We use both unique and traditional approaches to
discover leaders of excellence within niche sectors.
Our online methods include online advertising and
searching, social media networking and online
headhunting. More traditionally our charismatic
consultants harness our brand to attract industry
experts and off-market candidates for potential roles at
professional social networking events, trade shows and
industry association events.
We work with companies within a wide range of
industries, from travel companies to financial service
businesses. We also handle the accounts of companies
with multiple branches. So whether you need a sales
manager in Birmingham or a UX developer in Russia,
we are the one stop solution to handle assignments in
multiple locations.

CREATIVECreative brilliance can be hard to identify and even harder to harness: at Salt we can spot the creative spark that will fire up your business.
Traditionally, the greatest creative talent has always gravitated towards agency
businesses, but today some excellent creative minds can also be found within large
brands and consultancies. We allow you to reach far and wide for the best creative
talent. We don’t just limit our search to LinkedIn and job boards; we invest time and
energy into other artistic platforms that reveal creative ingenuity.
If you are looking for a professional with a creative flair to illuminate your brand’s
potential or you require the fulfilment of an unexpectedly vacated role, call us for our
insights and ability to deliver on demand.
“Salt are a great recruiter and a lot of fun to work with. As a client, I’ve found them to have a solid understanding of the candidate market and I can work with them to fill even the trickiest of roles. Definitely worth a call if you’re looking to fill any digital roles in your business.”
JENNIFER GABRIELLE-CHAPMAN - TALENT AND RECRUITMENT MANAGER
AT HAVAS MEDIA
Filling highly technical roles, demands deep market knowledge: at Salt we understand the talent you need and the technology they use.
Unlike other recruitment agencies, we take the time to ensure candidates are tested
on their applicable technical skills, using our partnership with Hackerank (bespoke
technical testing) before CVs are considered, ensuring that only honourable
candidates are recognised, saving everyone time.

“We started to work with Salt in early 2015 when we had to find a number of C-Suite recruits. What we really liked about working with Salt is the way they challenged, discussed, challenged again and then finally came to a resolution with the exact profiles we were looking for.
Salt is doing exactly what a good recruiter should be doing. Bringing value and insight into the current job market situation – and pushing for the best possible candidate, managing them through the entire process.

I can rely on them producing the best quality candidates within a short space of time. The teams that I deliver to, have very tight deadlines and so I need a strong pipeline within a short space of time. With Salt as my recruitment partner, I know that I can feel confident that they can deliver. They are seen not only as a recruitment agency but also as trusted partners.”

“Salt have been fantastic at helping us to find candidates quickly in a very competitive market. Within days of me having spoken to them, they had relevant people lined up who I’d never seen before. I felt like Salt really understood the brief, what we were looking for and what we could afford. I’d happily work with Salt again.”
