2023 has turned into another milestone year for ADLIB.
To recap:
- 2019 ADLIB became a certified B Corp, with a score of 82.3
- 2020 became 100% employee-owned
- 2021 launched the MotherBoard Movement
- 2022 ADLIB broke all of its records.
- 2023 recertified as a B Corp, with a score of 130.3, invested in HeyFlow and proudly refreshed its brand to reflect who they truly are today.
ADLIB has said for a long time that they’re more than a recruitment agency. ADLIB is a true talent partner, going beyond candidate acquisition, they’ve created business solutions that tackle inclusivity, health, well-being and retention head-on.
They care authentically about the planet, tracking and publicly reporting on its footprint, and working with suppliers to support the regional business community.
All of which needed translating into their refreshed brand. Nick Dean, CEO at ADLIB tells us, “From the look and feel, we opted for sustainable risograph techniques that reflect the business to perfection, whilst technically ensuring lean UX, negative space and page weights were priorities throughout our website build.
“2023 is the perfect time to launch our refreshed look and website.” You can take a browse at the new look here.
With its propositions growing at pace, geographical reach expanding into the US, and influence happening at the government level, there has never been a better time to get involved and make a difference. Find out more about joining the team here.
