About the STANDOUT initiative
Traditional search methodologies simply do not work.
We started the STANDOUT initiative in 2012, to promote Diversity of thought in the widest sense, providing access to the best candidates irrespective of gender, race, sexuality, disability or socioeconomic background.
Since then, the business case for diversity has built rapidly with conclusive data supporting that diversity positively impacts a company’s financial performance. Many companies declared greater diversity balance to be business imperative laying out objectives to achieve desired quotas and targets.
However, businesses have discovered that meeting diversity quotas and objectives is not straightforward. Traditional search methodologies simply do not work. STANDOUT has conducted research that has identified very typical problems inherent in diversity recruitment and has determined the need to have a disruptive “proactive” model for success
Reasons to use STANDOUT
We have the tools in place to turn diversity strategy to diversity success
It is not enough to set out targets, quotas and ideals without identifying the root causes of imbalance in senior leadership and attrition in mid-management. Even addressing one or two of the above issues is often inadequate for a long term, sustainable solution (though it is a start).

We have the tools in place to turn diversity strategy to diversity success, enabling reach and engagement with unprecedented numbers of professionals as well as eliminating unconscious bias in the recruitment process, from identification to interview.

At Manners Maclean we believe that it’s part of our mission to ensure that we promote Diversity of thought. It’s our responsibility to contribute to shaping businesses of the future by providing our clients with access to the best candidates irrespective of gender, race, sexuality, disability or socioeconomic background.

To us it’s more than just a simple business consideration, it’s a moral obligation.
And we’re proud to say that we partner with clients, across the globe, building diverse leadership teams, across their businesses and regions, that are fully representative and as diverse as the customers they serve.
