Emma Weston (Head of People Experience)
- We know that, historically, the tech sector has felt out of reach or even unwelcoming to many people. At The Adaptavist Group, we're committed to changing that. It's our people who make our success, and we believe that a diverse community—one where everyone feels respected, included, and valued—makes us stronger, more innovative, and more creative as a whole.
- We have created an environment that accommodates and supports people from all backgrounds, offering flexible ways of working and workplace benefits that are genuinely helpful, as well as keeping an open dialogue and welcoming feedback on these topics.
- Whether you've worked in tech for your whole career or this is a brand new direction for you, your experience and skills are valuable to us. We need fresh perspectives, forward thinkers, and problem solvers. We see the whole person, and we hire people who we believe will make a positive contribution to our community.
- We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, and particularly those who are often underrepresented in our industry, such as women and people of colour.
- We want to level the playing field for all those that interview with us. That's why we have created guidance on our careers page on what to expect as part of our interview process, typical questions we may ask you, and when and where to use AI as part of your application.
