Opening Doors: Inclusive Recruitment Governance

Practical guidance to help employers embed inclusive recruitment within organisational governance, strengthen accountability and support consistent hiring practices.

Inclusive recruitment should not depend on individual hiring managers. Clear responsibilities, consistent processes and leadership oversight help employers put their commitments into practice and create a fairer candidate experience.

This guide from Business in the Community (BITC) helps employers implement a new action in the refreshed Opening Doors Framework: embedding inclusive recruitment within organisational governance, including accountability for outcomes and consistency across hiring managers. It explains how to establish clear ownership, monitor progress and strengthen leadership and board-level oversight.

  • Practical steps for clarifying responsibilities and establishing consistent recruitment processes.
  • Guidance on leadership oversight, monitoring recruitment outcomes and embedding accountability.
