Diversity Event for London-Based Investment Management Firm - M&G Investments

M&G already get large volumes of applications but wanted to see an increase in their gender, ethnic and social mobility pipelines

Action

Sanctuary tapped into our diverse student society, departmental and database networks to drive attendance from M&G’s target audience in just two weeks.

Result

6 of the 30 attendees were hired following the delivery of the event. AI screening initially rejected these candidates, but a ‘Second Look’ diversity initiative comfortably overrode AI’s decision.

Black Heritage Insights Event for London Based Patent Attorney Firm - Carpmaels & Ransford

Situation

C&R sought to increase black heritage representation within the company and in the wider industry by delivering insights at a bespoke event for the patent attorney career path.

Action

Sanctuary delivered the attraction working with a narrow selection of Russell Group universities and from an even narrower selection of STEM degrees (only 400 met the criteria in the UK).

Result

We delivered 25 of the 400 to an event and we’re delivering another for 2024. Jess (Recruitment Advisor) said “We were incredibly impressed with not only the turnout but the calibre of student as well”.

“We were blown away by the engagement and questions from students on the day. Mind you, a Sanctuary Graduates powered event is always a treat to be involved with”

Judith Wilson

University Engagement Manager, ICAS

“The event was a great success- I think we inspired them with our stories and they have certainly gained a greater understanding of our organisation, culture, brand and hopefully early careers. Our internal colleagues, volunteers & presenters are also buzzing with the energy and great vibe we got from the event”

Maria Wilcockson

Graduate Scheme Manager, M&G Investments

“Thanks again to you all of your efforts! The event was great, and we were really impressed with all of the students, who were really engaged and keen to participate throughout.”

Gillian Davison

Recruitment Manager, Carpmaels & Ransford

A huge thank you – not just for yesterday, but for all the incredible work you did in the lead up to yesterday’s event. It absolutely surpassed all our expectations. To pull off 100% attendance was a feat in itself and a testament to the thorough process you undertook to get the right students in front of us.”
