Sam Jackman

As the Managing Director of Boost Innovations, a design-focused company that creates breast forms for women who have undergone breast cancer, Sam is committed to empowering women throughout their journey.

In recognition of the importance of inclusivity, Boost Innovations has implemented unique recruitment practices for their small team of four. They prioritise open dialogue with potential candidates, inviting them to meet the team and tailoring roles around their strengths. This approach mirrors their design process, which heavily relies on feedback from women.

Sam's advice for inclusive recruitment is to flip the traditional process on its head. Instead of starting with applications and formal interviews, prioritise meeting candidates and understanding them as people before progressing to the formalities. This approach allows for a more genuine assessment of potential and fosters a more inclusive work environment.
