ESG for Hiring
Attract purpose-led professionals and understand how attractive your ESG credentials are to candidates.
Develop a data-backed ESG talent strategy
Attracting top talent goes beyond a competitive salary or benefits package. An organisation’s values, purpose and meaning, and their ESG strategy, is crucial to attracting and retaining talent. Our framework focuses on supporting senior HR leaders to evaluate and evolve their Employee Sustainability Proposition (ESP).
The current job market is values-driven, and candidates are searching for employers who have sustainability built into their DNA. The value you deliver for candidates is key to an effective, long-term talent acquisition strategy.
At Robert Walters, we pride ourselves on remaining committed to our ESG goals and our team of experts delivers a data-informed ESG strategy for our clients. This includes an analysis of up to 100 data points to establish your ESG attractiveness as well as an analysis of how your strategy compares to competitors.

Client testimonial
Triodos Bank won Best ESG Strategy of the Year in 2023 after implementing our recommendations based on an audit which reviewed 84 performance areas.
The Employee Sustainability Proposition (ESP), from the ESG for Hiring practice, provided a deep analysis of our sustainability initiatives essentially holding a mirror up to our current practices and commitments and how we communicate this. This data led approach allowed us to not only see what we are doing well but also where we needed to improve. As a purpose-led bank, it’s essential that our employee value proposition mirrors the Environmental, Social and Governance principles that are at the heart of our organisation. The Audit provided the insights, rationale and recommendations required to enable us to make real progress on this journey.
