Connecting Black Professionals to Career Opportunities: Creating Safe and Authentic Spaces

Did you Know?

According to Coqual Research in 2022, a staggering 46% of Black employees at UK firms plan to leave their current workplaces within the next two years or even sooner. This number is significantly higher compared to the 34% of White professionals.

Another study by Robert Walters in 2022 revealed that 62% of Black professionals consider the lack of available opportunities as their biggest career challenge.

Unfortunately, Black unemployment in the UK remains at 8.9%, which is double the rate for the rest of the economy (HR Magazine, 2022).

How are we solving these problems?

We are proud to be the first and only platform that advertises job opportunities on behalf of employers through Black content creators. We firmly believe that the future of job advertising lies in engaging content.

We create valuable and inspiring content to educate our community, share opportunities, and foster growth. Our events are interactive, relaxed, and engaging, making them the most authentic community gatherings around.

Our network primarily consists of professionals from Tech, Media & Entertainment, Film & Production, Creative Advertising, and Marketing & PR. We believe these industries offer immediate impact, which is why we exclusively collaborate with organisations operating within these sectors.

Testimonials

“I just wanna say a huge thanks to all of you who have been posting jobas, opportunities, links, advice in the group. It has been so helpful and I'm looking forward to this group growing and eventually making the workspace more inclusive and diverse by fire by force.”
Esther
Black Create Connect Member
"Over the last few months, I had the pleasure of working with Alicia at Depop on the recruitment of 2 roles. I was amazed by her positive, kind and collaborative approach. Her ability to keep the team informed at all points of hiring Talent was on point! I can honestly say I left every meeting w/ Alicia feeling I was in good hands! I’ve loved my experience working with Alicia and I know that anyone looking to hire or work with her will, too."
Emily Konstantinidis
Production Lead, Depop
"It takes talent to know and find talent, and Alicia is one of the best. Alicia has been invaluable to us as we have built our business from scratch. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, charm, and relentless rigour have helped us create a powerfully talented and diverse team that we are so proud of and we are so sorry to see her go. Our loss is invariably her next employer's gain."
Erminia Blackden
Planning Director, Looping Group
“For me the group has been a channel for me to support members with career opportunities, and to give advice as well as seek opportunities within organisations I’d never of known about. Alicia has created something that is a support mechanism that’s been essential to so many young people who are passionate about furthering or developing a career in the digital or creative sectors.”
Ian Benjamin
Managing Director
"Although it was brief, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of working with Alicia. As a person, she brings energy, passion, enthusiasm and integrity to an organisation. As a Talent Partner, she is strategic, proactive, very 'plugged in' to the creative talent market, RDEI and builds excellent partnerships with external talent partners and organisations. In her brief stint, she laid the much-needed foundations for truly inclusive hiring practices and processes within Engine, while winning over many skeptics and 'nay-sayers' while doing so. But then that's Alicia - no challenge is too great, no obstacle is impossible to navigate."
