Marvin OnumonuPeople Like Us (PLU) has brought all recruitment services from Braver Talent under its main brand name after a period of strong growth and several industry awards.
Braver Talent was set up to address inequality in PR and communications recruitment, and in the past two years has helped place senior diverse professionals at agencies, brands and charities.
As part of this move, PLU has launched a new website, developed with Manifest, featuring a jobs board aimed at connecting employers with diverse talent for a small fee.
The jobs board is separate from other recruitment services and is intended to give organisations an accessible way to reach underrepresented groups.
Sheeraz Gulsher (pictured, right), co-founder of PLU, said: “Braver showed what was possible when you put equity at the centre of recruitment, and now by bringing it into People Like Us we can supercharge our ambitions of making work fairer for all.
“We’ve built momentum with our Partner Programme, we’ve taken our message global at Cannes, and we’re making real strides for policy change at the highest levels of government.
“This move ensures recruitment doesn’t just fill roles – it fuels the fight for a fairer workplace.”
Darain Faraz (pictured, left), co-founder of PLU, said: “Sheeraz and I founded Braver Talent because we knew the industry needed something different.
“We wanted to be unapologetically bold in how we supported talent and challenged the system.
“Now, with PLU’s growth, it makes sense to bring everything together under one roof.”
Faraz added: “Every placement we make through recruitment will directly fund our advocacy, mentoring, and campaigning work.
“That’s a win for candidates, a win for employers, and a win for workplace equity.”
