Katherine Lamb, one of our Senior Managers for Talent Acquisition has been pouring all her passion into a special project: signing our business up to the People Plus Social Recruitment Covenant. The Covenant sets in stone a business's commitment to inclusive recruiting, training and employment practices. These practices then contribute to greater social mobility and economic prosperity in wider society. So naturally, Katherine saw an opportunity for Currys to sign up. It's finally happened and this is just the beginning! Katherine explains: "I think it’s just that it’s the start of journey to make a commitment to Social Values recruitment, working with like minded companies as part of the SRAG – Social Recruitment Advocacy Group!" It's exciting stuff, but early days. Thanks, Katherine, we'll watch this space. #SRAG #SocialRecruitmentCovenant #SocialMobility
