DEI
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Expertis Solutions Inc., diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are at the core of our mission. We believe that diverse perspectives, equitable opportunities, and inclusive environments are essential for a thriving, innovative, and adaptable tech industry. Our actions reflect this commitment as we align our core business of IT talent acquisition with building diverse and equitable teams made up of the best tech talent. We cultivate an inclusive tech ecosystem by collaborating with organizations that share our vision to create safer spaces, dismantle barriers, and offer opportunities to women, 2SLGBTQI+ communities, Indigenous peoples, racialized individuals, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups, so they feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique talents. As certified ambassadors for women’s and 2SLGBTQI+ communities, we advocate for greater representation and inclusion within the industry.

How We Ensure DEI in Our Work
We implement strategic initiatives to build inclusive and equitable workplaces:
Education Awareness
We provide ongoing DEI training programs to our team members, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to promote inclusivity and diversity in all aspects of their work. Through a culture of continuous learning, we empower our employees to become active advocates for equity and inclusion, while also helping clients build quality and diverse tech teams.
Data-Driven Strategies
We use advanced analytics to assess and monitor the diversity of our talent pool, identifying areas for improvement and implementing strategies to support clients in building teams that reflect the evolving work landscape. This data-driven approach helps us stay focused on promoting measurable change.
Human-Centric Approach
We prioritize people in everything we do, and value every candidate for their unique perspectives and potential. By treating our network, candidates, customers, and employees with transparency, honest communication, and the same level of respect, we build trust and meaningful connections that enable equitable opportunities.
Supporting DEI Initiatives
Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion requires collective action.
Through our Pay IT Forward program, which encourages networking and referrals, we help professionals access new opportunities while rewarding those who support our mission. This initiative empowers individuals within underrepresented communities by expanding their access to job prospects.
