Chief People Officer​​

Head of Transformation for Diageo.

Scenario:

Diageo approached Inventum Group as the Talent Acquisition team had delivered a fully male shortlist for a Head of Transformation search.

Inventum worked with the hiring managers to overhaul and redesign the role profile and the advertisement.

Outcome:

Inventum Re-ran the search and delivered a gender balanced shortlist and a female was subsequently offered and accepted the role.Diageo were grateful they could work with a search partner that could advise (via their consulting arm) of the blockages in their original process with a view to re running the process and delivering the gender balanced shortlist they desired.
