Our story: Why HiR?

HiR's main area of activity is coaching, talent acquisition, development and consulting for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer people and our businesses, our allies and community groups.

We started as a generalist recruitment practice in 2021 and, in late 2023, decided to focus on the LBGTIQ+ community. At the same time, we've moved away from recruiting and towards talent development services.

Hir is a gender-neutral pronoun used in place of them or their. We believe the workplace and recruitment processes should be blind to not just gender but also race, background, sexuality, religion, disability, or any other subjective identifier.

Everyone should be able to live the life they dream of by design.

HiR also plays on the word 'hire', the practice of finding, evaluating, and establishing a working relationship with future employees, interns, contractors, or consultants. Our central focus with corporate clients is improving life in the workplace for the LGBTIQ+ community.

For better performance, results & happiness: Know yourself better.

A strength is something we perform well at, is energising, and we do often – in summary, it’s our authentic self at our best.

When we put our strengths to work, we are happier, more confident, and more able to achieve our goals. We feel motivated to do great work and become engaged and productive individuals, teams, and organisations.

When we don’t know our strengths, we waste valuable time on things that drain us.
