Our Values
Living Our Values Every Day
Our ethos isn't just words on a page—it's our way of life. Step into any of our offices and you'll feel it: the friendly welcomes, the buzz of collaboration and the shared sense of purpose that connects us all.
We live our values in everything we do, from celebrating wins to learning from setbacks. Every voice matters here. Our open governance and inclusive structure mean everyone has a say in how we grow and evolve. This transparency keeps us connected, accountable and aligned with our purpose.
At its heart, our ethos is about empowerment. Empowering our people to be their best. Empowering clients through exceptional talent. Empowering candidates with opportunities that can change lives.
By staying true to these values, we build a business that succeeds the right way—with integrity, pride and lasting positive impact.
Grit
We rise to every challenge with determination and perseverance. No matter how complex the brief, we go the extra mile to find the right fit. We deliver on our promises and remain dependable, especially when it matters most.
Respect
We value every person we work with. Clients, candidates and colleagues alike are treated with honesty, integrity and openness. We listen carefully, communicate clearly and never lose sight of the human connection at the heart of everything we do.
Optimism
We approach every challenge with positivity and creativity. We see possibilities where others see barriers, and it's this mindset that fuels our growth as one of the UK's fastest-growing recruitment companies.
Wellbeing
We're passionate about helping people thrive. As a B Corp certified company, we're committed to stress-free, supportive recruitment processes and to promoting balance and confidence in our team and candidates alike.
What We Stand For
Doing the Right Thing
These aren't aspirational values we're working toward. They're the principles we live by, every single day. They guide how we treat each other, how we serve our clients, and how we support every candidate through their journey.
When you work with Dovetail & Slate, you're working with people who genuinely care about doing recruitment differently, and doing it right.
