Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

Target Search believes that the best senior appointments are made from the widest possible pool of qualified candidates. Diverse boards, executive teams and family offices demonstrably make better long-term decisions — and every mandate we run is structured to widen, not narrow, the field.

What this means in practice

• Every longlist and shortlist we present is measured for diversity of background, experience and perspective before it is shared with a client.
• We work actively to identify candidates from historically under-represented groups at senior level, including women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ professionals, and candidates with disabilities.
• Our search process is designed to reduce bias — from structured briefing conversations to standardised interview and reference protocols.
• We advise clients on inclusive job descriptions, competency frameworks and interview panels where requested.
• We recruit, retain and develop our own team on the same principles we apply to our client work.

Our own accountability

This statement is not aspirational. We review our own hiring, our client shortlists and our advisory work against these commitments each year, and we will publish updates when our approach evolves.
