Why join the SRAI?
A quality mark when building a talent pool
If your recruitment process doesn't align with your organisation's other ESG commitments and sustainability initiatives, you've got a problem.
Sustainable recruitment best practices will boost
Talent Attraction and Retention
Reduce your reputational risk
Your organisation can promote numerous sustainability initiatives, but if your recruitment processes don't reinforce this commitment, you risk serious reputational damage in the eyes of job seekers and existing staff.
Without implementing sustainable recruitment best practices, you'll struggle to attract and onboard environmentally conscious candidates, increasing the likelihood of a poor cultural fit and costly bad hires.
Moreover, if you're not building a talent pool with processes and programs specifically designed around social and eco-friendly best practices, your organisation risks losing clients, tenders, and supplier relationships.
