Singapore's Diversity Action Committee (DAC) announced that 6 more executive search firms have signed up to its Statement of Good Practice in Executive Search for Board Directors.
The DAC was formed in August 2014 and comprises business leaders and professionals from the private and public sectors appointed to build up the representation of women directors on boards of companies.
The six firms - Global Search Partners, Harvey Nash, NQ International, Profile Search and Selection, Robert Walters and Straits Talent - have joined five other search firms in pledging to support greater boardroom diversity and participation of women.
Magnus Bocker, Chairman of DAC, said, "I am pleased to see that more members from the Executive Search community will support greater boardroom diversity and participation of women. Using executive search services for recruiting board directors is not just for the large companies but those desiring to bring best talents to the top table in addition to the existing recruitment channels. These active partnerships between companies and search firms support an increased understanding of the business benefits of diversity. DAC looks forward to a continuous increase of women directors."
