Headhunters urged to seek out new female talent

All executive search firms have been urged by the Business Secretary, Vince Cable to publish the numbers of men versus women they place in senior positions. This emphasis on transparency will help highlight those firms that are going the extra mile to find high calibre female candidates and tackle gender imbalance in UK companies.

Dr Cable also called on the CEOs of FTSE 350 companies to put firm plans in place to develop talented individuals in their organisations and ensure a healthy pipeline of female executives over the long term.

Vince Cable said:

“The great majority of business leaders I meet with now recognise the economic case for gender balance and are actively working with us to increase the number of women on their boards and executive committees. But we must also challenge the paternalistic culture and silent assumptions about women’s priorities that are ultimately keeping the glass ceiling in place."
