FOR CANDIDATES

Our candidates’ experience, time and
unique stories matter deeply to us.
We center candidate experience
throughout our process.

The job search experience can be daunting for candidates. We don’t think it has to be.

Our team at Axis sees our candidates as important members of our community and center candidate experience in our process design. We help you put your best foot forward for your searches with Axis and beyond.

To every candidate, we make the following commitments:

◢  We only partner with organizations that we identify as bringing authenticity and a growth mindset to their diversity, equity and inclusion journey.
◢  We center equitable and inclusive practices in all of our candidate engagement, from our research practices to our evaluation mechanisms and how we support candidates through a process.
◢  Transparency is a cornerstone of equitable search practice, so we make requirements and information explicit and transparent.
◢  We review every application for every search we conduct. We believe in giving space and dedicating significant time for candidates to speak to the areas of their experience that are assets, as well as those that have been hurdles – without judgment.
◢  We give you the chance to tell your story. We also dedicate time to prepare candidates for every touch point with our partner organization, ensuring you are positioned to put your best foot forward.
◢  We strive to be a home for mission-driven leaders of color and others from historically excluded backgrounds and we commit to providing resources for support. This does not mean that we overlook candidates who don’t identify as people of color or that we won’t consider them candidates for our searches.
◢  We take care of ourselves so that we can take care of our candidates and clients.

Testimonials

I recommend Axis for any employer...

“My experience working with Axis Talent Partners was joyful, inspiring and fun! I was lucky to work with a group of fierce advocates that promoted equity in the process AND were cheering me on. I recommend Axis for any employer that is interested in centering equity and justice in their search process.”

Nupur Chaudhury, CEO
IOBY

This is the most seen I've ever felt in a search process.

“This is the most seen I’ve ever felt in a search process. I usually don’t like recruiters, but now I see that you’re not a recruiter, you’re a partner. And clearly, Axis really and truly lives its mission in every way.”

Axis Candidate

I'm still stunned at the tremendous amount of thoughtfulness and compassion that Axis puts into its interview process!

“I also want to take this moment to express my gratitude for the time and opportunity that you and the Axis team has given me to share more about myself and my interest in the role. It was an absolute pleasure being able to have a conversation with you! I’m still stunned at the tremendous amount of thoughtfulness and compassion that Axis puts into its interview process!”

I Have Never Experienced a Process Like this Before

“I want to thank you at Axis for such a beautiful experience to date. Those are not words usually associated with a talent search process but this has been so unique. From the first call I had inviting me to consider the role and explaining how you found me, to interviewing with Axis in such a deep and profound way that made me feel safe, to the call with you preparing me for the interview…I can honestly say that I have never experienced a process like this before.

I thank you sincerely, because executive search processes can sometimes be really traumatic and in this case it’s been the complete opposite. ..I want you to know that as a woman of color, as a Latina, and as a professional, I have felt the caring impact of Axis search process since day one and for that I am thankful.”

Haydee Morales, Executive Vice President
National Institute for Reproductive Health

I Can Understand Why So Many Great Organizations Trust You

“I’ve talked to many recruiters over the course of my career and I can say definitively that none have taken as in depth and personal approach as you and your team. I can understand why so many great organizations trust you to help fill their most important roles!”

True Understanding of Diversity

“I am now writing to let you know just how blown away I was by one of your team members. The way she led and approached her screening interview with me was amazing and it made me feel so comfortable. I have NEVER had such a wonderful screening interview with a recruiter. She is sensitive and open — she showed a true understanding of diversity and the experiences of women of color. I so appreciate her.”
