We are absolutely delighted to announce Harvey Nash has been shortlisted for 2 Scotland Women in Technology Awards 2023!
We are finalists for ‘The Inclusive Recruiter of the Year’ award, which recognises a recruitment company or employer who demonstrates awareness of diversity and inclusive issues and is leading change in tackling inclusion for women in the technology recruitment pipeline. An organisation with progressive and inclusive practices who look beyond ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, educational attainment and background to recruit based on skills and talent.
And the ‘Diversity Initiative of the Year’ award for our NextGen offering. Which celebrates an initiative that is focused on promoting gender diversity in tech. This may include a skills initiative that encourages women and girls to build digital skills to support a move to a career in technology, or an initiative to support and retain women already within a technology career.
We are also delighted to be sponsors of the ‘SME Employer of the Year’ Award which recognises an SME organisation (under 250 staff) who have demonstrated commitment to advancing the careers of women in technology. This organisation can show how it implements practices to support women in their own workforce and/or supports external initiatives to help address the gender imbalance in the workplace. As SMEs are a vital part of Scotland’s business and technology landscape we’re delighted to be supporting and celebrating these organisations.
“Harvey Nash is delighted to sponsor SME Employer of the Year for SWIT’s 2023 Awards. SMEs are a vital part of Scotland’s business and technology landscape, blazing the way for innovation and adapting rapidly to facilitate growth. We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with SMEs across Financial, Legal and Health Technology, and placing the best talent to expand their teams, augment their capabilities and achieve their ambitions.” - Cameron MacGrain, Director, Harvey Nash
The shortlisting’s were announced at an event at the Morgan Stanley offices in Glasgow, who are the headline sponsors for the awards. Our team and clients were delighted to attend the whole event and of course be shortlisted from over 150 submissions from across Scotland. SWiT Founder and Chair, Silka Patel, acknowledged the calibre of the entries and applauded the push from Scotland’s tech sector to champion women working in technology-focused roles. We also heard talks on self-promotion, handling expectation and allyship.
We would like to extend our congratulations to our fellow finalists and thank Scotland Women in Technology for these award shortlisting’s. We look forward to attending the award ceremony in November and presenting the SME Employer of the year Award.
