Our commitment to diversity and inclusion
We believe in the power of diversity and how it drives a high-performance business. We live it ourselves and are constantly learning new ways to improve. Nicoll Curtin employees around the world work in an environment where diversity, including diversity of thought, is the norm. At Nicoll Curtin, we take pride in our gender diversity, with a 52% female-to-male staff ratio overall, and our senior team maintaining an equal 50% representation of males and females as of the beginning of 2024.
Recruitment and selection
We are aware of the key role we play for our clients and believe we have a responsibility to actively create more opportunities for top talent - regardless of background.
What’s clear in our industry and market is that businesses want to see a broad and diverse pool of candidates. As an inclusive company, we fully support this goal. That’s why we aim to include at least one diverse CV in every shortlist of three. In practice, this means ensuring that at least one candidate brings a different perspective or set of characteristics to the table compared to the others.
To ensure our approach is fair, inclusive, and constantly improving, we conduct regular reviews of our recruitment processes and provide ongoing training to our team. From job adverts and application forms to interview questions and selection criteria, everything we use is designed to be inclusive, bias-free, and relevant to the roles at hand. We're proud to support many of our clients with these principles—and to have been recognised with the TCS Inclusive Talent Partner Award in 2025.
We also take steps to track and improve our impact. Our job boards are regularly updated and aligned with best practices in data protection. This allows us to monitor important diversity metrics - such as gender, age, and background - so we can measure progress and hold ourselves accountable.
This commitment to driving real, measurable change is also reflected in our external partnerships. Following a successful collaboration on a Women in Tech event, we’re proud to have formed a global partnership with Women in Technology and Science (WITS) Ireland. In 2025, we became their first recruitment partner.
Together, we’re working to strengthen gender diversity in technology and leadership roles by sharing expertise, amplifying opportunities, and actively opening doors for more women to thrive in tech. We’re especially proud to be doing this in WITS’ 35th anniversary year - a powerful milestone in their work to champion women in STEM.
