Diversity and Inclusion Statement

We are passionate about delivering diverse and balanced shortlists of exceptional candidates, promoting diversity and equality in the leadership teams and supporting our clients in achieving positive change and competitive advantage.

We champion diversity and inclusion through Modern Leadership https://modernleadership.net/ – a platform we have created to build a community of progressively minded established and emerging leaders and leadership experts.

Modern Leadership is teaching us how leadership is changing, recognising the growing importance of human values-led leadership, especially with regard to diversity and inclusion, sustainability, social justice, workplace change and business transformation.

Modern Leaders believe that fluid communication and collaboration in diverse teams create better ideas and thinking, agility and a deeper connection with employees, consumers, business partners and investors.

Frisch Search have developed a new approach to how we identify, engage and represent candidates that is values-driven and assesses and predicts the mindset and behaviours of executives as well as the working environment and culture they will foster and thrive in.

Our clients and candidates have access to our Modern Leadership community.  Here, they can find inspiration, curated content, networking opportunities and learn how to better engage in conversation about the values that drive business success and value.

Executive Search for us is deeply personal.  We care about the work we do and about the people we work with.  We are mindful that being assessed and evaluated is sometimes uncomfortable and unsettling and we do everything we can to ensure that our candidates feel heard, seen and valued and are treated with dignity and respect.  We build relationships with candidates that allow them to speak openly and ask difficult questions and we frequently ask for feedback.

We passionately present our clients’ diversity and inclusion efforts and commitments and believe in the collective ownership of building diverse leadership teams.  We show candidates the diverse makeup of the teams they would be part of.  We guarantee careful, yet clear communication so that there is no inference that there may be an intention to advantage or disadvantage any group/person.  We make every effort to explain the search criteria – the skills, experience and ability required, and make sure that all candidates have a positive experience and are reassured of our and our clients’ commitments.

At the start of a search we assess the diversity of the entire candidate pool in the respective function, market and domain.

Of course, we make sure that we understand and comply with diversity and inclusion policy, regulation and legislation in the markets and territories we work in.

Our talent network is highly diverse across cultural and socioeconomic background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age and disability.

We stay connected and nurture our ecosystem through active immersion and community engagement, continuous learning and training.  We participate in debates, forums and events and make sure we understand new emerging tools, solutions.

Frisch Search was founded and is led by Carola Frisch.  Carola is a leadership expert and has created Modern Leadership, advocating the shift towards a new human values-led leadership standard and a regular contributor and speaker at industry events, conferences and forums.

Carola is a Fellow member of the RSA, an organisation in the forefront of significant social impact that envisages a world where everyone is able to participate in creating a better future.  She also is an active supporter of the One Better World Collective, a non-profit organisation with a 10-year strategy to equip people everywhere to act upon the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030.

In more than two decades, Carola has built and led diverse teams in terms of age, ethnicity, social background, nationality and cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

The firm has a strong track record in delivering diverse leadership placements.
