Our diversity policy

Diversity, equality and fair treatment are values that Bullet promotes in all aspects of our work.

It is our policy that as an employer of staff and as a provider of Human Resources and Change Management recruitment services, we will work to address existing inequalities, eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities and diversity.  We translate this into all aspects of our everyday work and will aim to prevent discrimination or other unfair treatment against any of our staff or users of our services regardless of gender, age, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origins, disability, sexual orientation or political and religious beliefs.

As an inclusive employer we develop and support a diverse workforce and are committed to working practices which ensure the equality of opportunity in our recruitment and selection procedures.  Discriminatory attitudes or behaviour from our employees are unacceptable at anytime and commitment to equal opportunities is a requirement of everyone.

We aim to model best practice by recognising and valuing the contribution of all staff in a manner which is supportive, just and free from discrimination.

We will achieve these aims by:

• constantly reviewing our candidate attraction strategies to make sure we see applicants from the broadest and most diverse pool of talent available.
• planning, delivering and monitoring our activities so equality and diversity issues are considered at the outset
• applying objective criteria to assess potential suitability for jobs on behalf of our clients
• consulting with and educating clients about diversity issues
• recruiting, developing and retaining a diverse workforce that is able to deliver high quality services that are fair, accessible, appropriate and responsive
• monitoring and evaluating activities and outcomes and reviewing policies and practices where appropriate.

Our Networks

Everything in our business is about making connections and positive impacts. Our philosophy is to work with talented people both as colleagues, candidates and clients. Knowing what 'talent' looks like is our business.

Clients

Our clients' interests always come first. Our experience shows us that if we serve our clients well, success will follow. Our client base spans jobs with global blue chip businesses with complex Human Resource structures to smaller organisations that may be recruiting their first HR or Change professional. 

Bullet is well placed to address all of your HR resourcing needs on both a permanent and interim basis. Along with our unrivalled reputation in customer service within the HR recruitment market, due to our make up of experienced recruiters and HR professionals, we're also able to tap into our network of passive jobseekers who are always looking to hear about suitable roles.We also provide a stop-gap service, where we place interim HR candidates at extremely short notice while you're looking to recruit on a permanent basis.

Candidates

At Bullet, we make an unusual effort to identify and recruit the very best person for every HR job that we handle. In our line of business, we know that without providing the best people, we cannot be the best HR recruitment company.

Recruitment businesses can only find jobs for a relatively small number of the individuals that they work with. Bullet is no different. We will, however, be honest with you if we're not actively handling positions that are suitable.

We're really quite nosy when it comes to our markets, so we know a lot of people. That also means that if we hear about a company recruiting for a role in the HR field that would be perfect for you, even if we're not dealing with it, we'll bring it to your attention.

In fact, wherever possible we try to add value to your HR career by sharing the market knowledge that we've gained. We know that good deeds are the basis of many of our best and longest relationships.

We're always happy to find it, so we're especially appreciative when individuals in our network introduce us to people in their networks.

The markets we recruit in

We are specialists in our fields of recruitment: Human Resources, Change Management and Business Transformation. Put very simply, our experience helps us to recognise when there's a good fit between companies and professionals in these areas.

Over many years our consultants have formed highly productive partnerships with some of the world's most successful and progressive businesses.

HR Recruitment

Our success has been based upon identifying highly commercial and results focused HR professionals who can demonstrate a true ability to partner with their respective businesses. We recruit at all levels on both a permanent and interim basis, and for the following specialisations:­

• Compensation & Benefits
• Diversity/Equal Opportunities
• Employee Relations
• HR Consulting
• HR Generalist
• Learning & Organisational Development
• Recruitment/Resourcing
• Training

Bullet prides itself on a best practice approach to recruitment and candidate screening and is aware that at all times our candidates may one day be clients and vice versa. Our reputation - based upon our approach - is where most of our business is generated.

Change Management Recruitment

We have extensive experience recruiting a variety of Change Management specialists for both management consultancies and in-house functions. These range from the 'softer' end of the change spectrum and would include knowledge in the following areas:

• Behavioural change
• Cultural change
• Organisation design
• Organisation development
• Communications
• Organisational effectiveness
• Leadership and employee engagement
• Human capital management (HR) and transformation

We have collaborated with a wide variety of clients over the years including many of the major consulting brands; however we also pride ourselves on building long term relationships with niche boutique consulting firms, who offer a different cultural environment for their employees and more focused offerings.

In addition, we have been extremely active in the internal consulting space, building teams of specialists who drive change from within an organisation. In this space we have partnered with organisations such as major Banking institutions, Retailers, Telecoms brands and Public Sector bodies.

Business Transformation Recruitment

Business Transformation is a catch all phrase for many activities that a business might undertake in order to change the way that their organisation is structured, operates and performs.

We specialise in positions that focus in the Business Transformation arena with both clients in the Management Consultancy Sectors and transformation roles in-house with major blue-chip organisations.

For us the types of activities that fall into Business Transformation would include:

• Process analysis
• Business Process re-Engineering (BPR)
• Performance improvement
• Cost reduction
• Programme management
• Project management
• Target operating model development
• Change management

How we recruit our HR professionals

At Bullet we realise that our clients are under pressure to show that they are getting value for money when they recruit.  So we won't recommend fixed, prescriptive methods to fulfil your recruitment requirements. We'd rather be flexible in our methods and costings to reflect the wide variety of instructions that we receive.

Here are a summary of the options we often draw upon a combination of methods to maximise your coverage of the market and solve your recruitment needs.

Search

This is most appropriate when the target population of candidates can be defined relatively narrowly. For example, because the level of seniority is sufficiently high (typically £80,000+), or the role is specialised enough (such as a 'Head of Transformation') to be able to readily identify suitable individuals.

Advertised Selection

We would recommend using advertisements to attract a broader population of individuals for consideration when the target candidate(s) could be found in a broad range of organisations and roles (such as middle management levels of role, say for HR Business Partners, £40,000 - £60,000).
We are well placed to advise about the most relevant and cost effective media to use, whether online media and innovations or offline press.

Database

One of the advantages of being a specialist recruiter is that we maintain a database of individuals who are either actively looking for a move, or who have asked us to maintain a 'weather eye' on the HR and Change Management markets so that they can be kept informed about  roles that might be of interest to them.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing

We are very experienced at working over long periods of time with clients where we partner broadly with them on recruitment matters, and are retained to manage large parts of their HR and Change Management recruitment process.
