Working towards Net Zero recruitment.

As part of our ongoing efforts to achieve a Net Zero recruitment process, in November 2023 we launched a new initiative to Plant a Tree Per Placement. We have supported tree planting globally.

As part of this initiative, we also declared a 'Net Zero Website'. Simply scroll to the bottom of our website and you’ll see a badge which automatically compensates for all the CO2 emissions our website generates!

Volunteering and fundraising for our chosen 2024 charities.

This year, members of our team took on the Three Peaks Challenge, aiming to complete it in under 24 hours to raise funds for two brilliant charities: Shooting Star Children’s Hospices and The Mary Hare Foundation.

The challenge kicked off at 6:25am on Saturday 28th June 2025 with the ascent of Ben Nevis, followed by climbs up Scafell Pike and Snowdon. After a tough and relentless effort, the team completed their final descent at 5:15am on Sunday, finishing the full challenge in just 22 hours and 50 minutes. To get ready, the team committed to months of training, which included multiple climbs up Pen y Fan and treks across other local peaks to build strength and stamina.

Shooting Star Children’s Hospices supports babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, along with their families, across areas of London and Surrey. They offer expert medical, emotional and practical care, free of charge, 24/7, all year round. With around 600 families receiving ongoing support, and a further 400 bereaved families in their care, they rely on donations to meet their £12 million annual running costs.

The Mary Hare Foundation exists to fundraise for Mary Hare School, the UK’s largest residential school for deaf children. The Foundation helps provide vital infrastructure and specialist resources, allowing the school to offer first-class education and care that exceeds what state funding can support.

Thank you for all of those who have supported us this year!

Creating an inclusive hiring process.

When it comes to equal opportunities, we often see a lot of sweeping statements. We talk a lot about the need to make things fairer within the hiring process, within the workplace and in terms of career progression, but unfortunately, we rarely see any real change.

We know that diverse teams perform better, and our consultants are committed to working with our network to ensure that this focus is embedded across each assignment we undertake. Diversity, we believe, cannot take place without inclusivity, and vice versa. At Water by Murray, diversity and inclusion has always been embedded in everything we do.

Eradicating Modern Slavery.

In today's global landscape, the eradication of modern slavery stands as a paramount ethical imperative for businesses worldwide. We recognise that the fight against modern slavery isn't merely a moral duty but a strategic necessity. By upholding stringent anti-slavery policies and practices throughout our operations and supply chains, we not only safeguard human rights but also, foster trust among clients, and uphold the principles of fairness and justice. Our commitment to eliminating modern slavery underscores our dedication to responsible business conduct and our unwavering belief that every individual deserves dignity, respect, and freedom.

Supply Chain: To ensure modern slavery risks are being assessed in our supply chain, we have conducted a full review of supplier assessments. As such, we have a 100% supplier completion target for new and existing suppliers with an annual turnover >£10k. In addition, we are working to improve supplier awareness of modern slavery policy and procedures with has resulted in us including a modern slavery statement and related codes in our annual supplier assessment..
Employees: While our employees operate across different areas and receive training tailored to their role, we have introduced a new modern slavery training module which is mandatory to all employees. Working with the recruitment sector, awareness of this crime is of paramount importance.

We welcome clients and suppliers to review our policies and processes, if you'd like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.
