Friday, 21 November 2008
The Stonewall Lesbian & Gay Recruitment Guide 2008/09Stonewall is pleased to announce the launch of the fourth edition of Starting Out, Britain’s only national recruitment guide for lesbian and gay graduates and jobseekers.

The 2008/09 edition of Stonewall’s lesbian and gay recruitment guide is filled with interview tips, advice for jobseekers and 325 gay-friendly employers.  Designed for discerning graduates and job-seekers, it’s targeted at the 150,000 lesbian, gay and bisexual students in Britain.

Ben Summerskill, Stonewall Chief Executive, said: ‘Attracting and retaining the very best staff, regardless of background, is now a fundamental part of business strategy for British companies wanting to remain market leaders, and public sector organisations striving to provide world-class public services.’



20,000 hard copies of Starting Out are being distributed to Students’ Unions, University Careers Services, Employment Agencies and University Lesbian and Gay Societies and secondary schools across Britain.

The guide has once again been sponsored by Credit Suisse. Anita Harper, EMEA Co-Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Credit Suisse, said she was delighted at the partnership: ‘Credit Suisse has a strong Diversity and Inclusion programme and actively fosters a positive working environment for its gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender staff.’

Who are the employers in Stonewall’s Recruitment Guide?

All the employers featured in Starting Out are members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme, and have committed to working with Stonewall to make sure their workplaces are gay-friendly.
Some of the things they have committed to achieving are:

  • Providing equal benefits for same sex couples
  • Setting up employee network groups or other support systems for LGB staff
  • Telling all their staff that gay people are welcome
  • Reminding all staff that homophobia has no place in the workplace
