At 2020 Recruitment, we’ve always believed recruitment should be about more than just filling jobs. It should be about building stronger businesses, stronger communities and stronger futures.
That belief has always guided how we work. Now, we’re taking that commitment to the next level with the appointment of Carly Mitchell as our Social Impact Advisor. We’re formalizing something we’ve always cared deeply about.
What Social Impact Means in Recruitment
Social impact in recruitment is about who we help, how we help, and why we do it.
It’s about:
- Promoting fair opportunities for all, regardless of background
- Championing inclusive hiring practices in every business we work with
- Giving back to local communities through time, sponsorship, and support
- Creating meaningful pathways into work, especially for those who’ve been left behind
Recruitment is a powerful tool. Used the right way, it doesn’t just build companies. It builds confidence, independence, and hope.
Our Ongoing Work in the Community
We don’t believe social impact should be just a buzzword. It should be something you can see, feel and be part of. That’s why we’re proud to be actively involved in our local communities in meaningful ways, including:
Sponsoring Local Football Teams
We proudly sponsor local youth football teams, helping support grassroots sport and encourage healthy activity, teamwork and community pride.
Working with Employability Groups
We partner with local organisations that support people getting back into work—offering CV support, interview advice, and real job opportunities to those who need them most.
Engaging with Schools
We work with local schools to run career sessions, help students explore different career paths and help the next generation to prepare for working life.
Supporting Armed Forces Personnel
As a proud member supporting the Armed Forces Covenant, we’re committed to helping veterans and service personnel transition into meaningful employment.
Mentoring Through MCR Pathways
We actively support MCR Pathways mentors, helping guide individuals facing barriers to work towards sustainable career opportunities.
Why Carly’s Role Matters
With Carly joining us as our Social Impact Advisor, we now have the focus to bring all these efforts together and take them even further.
Carly will be responsible for:
- Driving our training on diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Helping us create stronger links with community partners and schools
