Inclusive Hiring Policy

At Principle HR, inclusive hiring is embedded within our recruitment framework and formally governed through this policy. We apply an equity-focused, bias-aware approach across sourcing, shortlisting, interviewing and onboarding.

This policy forms part of our wider ESG framework and applies across all operations in Ireland, the UK and the United States.

​Purpose

To ensure fair, structured and inclusive recruitment practices that promote equal opportunity and reduce bias in decision-making.

Our Approach

• We implement practical, measurable steps across our recruitment lifecycle:

• Clear, accessible job briefs written in unbiased language

• Broad-stage sourcing across diverse talent platforms

• Merit-based shortlisting using structured criteria

• Standardised interviews with consistent scoring

• Inclusive onboarding advocacy

Our processes are reviewed periodically to ensure continued alignment with best practice and applicable equality legislation.

Oversight & Accountability

This policy operates under Director-level oversight and forms part of our governance and compliance framework.

We maintain documented recruitment standards and review our practices to promote fairness, transparency and consistency.
