Across the industry of financial services, professional services, and industry and commerce sectors in the United Kingdom and the wider world, Meraki Talent stands ready to assist with any recruitment and hiring needs. The firm has always sought to work incredibly hard on behalf of both clients and candidates, which includes taking the time to really understand each role and the requirements that come with. In doing so, Meraki Talent ensures that it never puts a candidate forward for a role that they do not fit. Much like a jigsaw, the world of recruitment and hiring is about the finding the perfect candidate for a client, and vice versa. A candidate may want to work in a specific area, and matching candidate with client is just as important as finding the right person for a job. With offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London, Meraki Talent is perfectly placed to enable its team of recruitment specialists to work across a number of disciplines and sectors within the financial services sector. One of the key areas of Meraki Talent where the team excels is in the financial services aspect of the business.

The team can be used to help fulfil any number of vacancies, and the International Professional Services team at Meraki Talent recruits for the Big Four and top ten professional service firms. Working on an international level, the firm has relocated talent to more than twenty five countries around the world, and has helped candidates find the perfect role for them. Working primarily as a recruitment business, the role that Meraki Talent plays in supporting its client partners to achieve their diversity and inclusion objectives is also at the forefront of the decisions made. One of the ways that Meraki Talent achieves this is through specific and targeted attraction, careful selection, well thought-out offers, and well-established working practices. In order to ensure that every piece of communication and every job is presented in the right way, there is a range of policies, procedures, training, and controls that are aimed at guaranteeing the approach to hiring on a client’s behalf is inclusive and non-discriminatory. The best thing for the client is that they get the best candidate for the job, and that means presenting a diverse shortlist of candidates from a range of backgrounds. Meraki Talent is also a certified member of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion, which has enabled the team at the firm to access a wide range of resources that can be used to increase awareness around working practices and inclusivity. The firm is also a Disability Confident Committed Employer, and director Laura is a Career Ready mentor, championing the social mobility of diversity and inclusion within the industries and sectors where Meraki Talent works. Ultimately, finding the perfect job or finding the perfect candidate is a nigh-impossible task, but it can be made easier than ever before with Meraki Talent on board.
