Case Study: Brewin Dolphin
We facilitated a group of our Young Leaders to support Brewin Dolphin who were looking for
feedback and insights as to what young diverse talent thought of them as a prospective
employer. The young people provided their unfiltered perpective on the organisation’s website
and careers information, as well as insight as to the things that would attract them in a job
advert or recruitment process. Their feedback provided the impetus for several quick and easy
changes (such as the imagery used on the recruitment section of their website) that will make
a real difference to the range of diverse talent they are able to attract going forward.
The young people were incredibly professional and came to the session prepared with really useful
pointers and tips for how we could make improvements. It was refreshing to hear directly from young
people about their impressions and is insight we would have struggled to get any other way.
