International Women's Day 2026 - Platinum Recruitment

About International Women's Day

International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated every year on March 8th, recognises the achievements of women and pushes for faster progress towards gender equality.

It’s a day to celebrate how far we’ve come and challenge ourselves to go further.

At Platinum Recruitment, it’s a moment that genuinely resonates.

Give to Gain

This year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” highlights a simple truth: when we give opportunity, support and space, we gain stronger teams and better businesses.

Over the years the Platinum team has been predominantly female including some of our most senior roles & we’ve seen the impact of that investment first-hand.

We spoke with our Director, Rebecca Ackerley to hear what her take was on this years theme:

“Give to Gain is about action. When businesses create real opportunity and encourage open dialogue, the return is huge, culturally and commercially. Equality isn’t a tick-box; it’s a growth strategy.”

Equality works best when it’s shared. Not something left to women to solve but something everyone contributes to.

Working with the Vibrancy Hub

Real progress starts with real conversation.

Over the last few years, we’ve partnered with The Vibrancy Hub, a leadership & development business focussed on supporting leaders to create more joyful, impactful & sustainable ways of working. They have been outstanding in supporting us as a team & individuals to help us unlock our potential through tailored workshops to create space for open, honest reflection within our team.

When discussing IWD & the challenges we face as a society to achieve gender equality Laura presented a principle which really stood out:

“More honest and real conversations, creating brave spaces where we can all take off the masks and get real with each other.”

Gender equality isn’t driven by statements, it’s driven by openness, listening and understanding lived experiences.

Lets Celebrate & Give

International Women’s Day is both a celebration and a call to action.

At Platinum Recruitment, we’re proud of the women who drive our business forward, and of the culture we’ve built together.

“Give to Gain” reminds us that progress requires contribution.

Give opportunity
Give support
Give space

And we all gain.

Happy International Women’s Day 2026 💜

What Our Clients say

really good service and clear communication

Platinum provide a really good service and clear communication. The team really understand the roles and our requirements; and the candidates put forward are of a high calibre. We will definitely continue to use Platinum.

Sara Jardim
Talent Acquisition Specialist

they understood the calibre of individual we were looking for

We received a very thorough level of service from Platinum, they understood the calibre of individual we were looking for. They responded quickly through both email and phone and we would definitely use Platinum again.

Jane Anderson
HR Director

They got a great understanding of what I needed

I found Platinum through a google search and decided to use them due to ease, the fact they had candidates already in mind, and didn’t have an exclusivity clause so we weren’t limited. They got a great understanding of what I needed on the first call, provided candidates in a timely manner but it was clear they had been considered for the role and not just passed over for the sake of it. I would use Platinum again in the future.

Mimi Rostron
Head of Culture & Engagement

I would definitely use Platinum again…I already have!

Having used Platinum at my previous employer I continued the relationship for finance roles and now an EA role. The consultants are brilliant. They asked all the right questions and helped create the job description. I would definitely use Platinum again…I already have!

Dan Preston
Finance Director

The level of service is excellent

I have worked with Platinum Recruitment for over 4 years. The level of service is excellent. They are always willing to go the extra mile to understand the business and source the right candidates. I would always use Platinum for finance roles as the quality of CV’s provided is great. I appreciate that in today’s current market conditions it is not always easy to find candidates; and even when you find them they may have been made other offers but resilience is a key strength of the Platinum team.

Sue Hammond
Senior HR Manager

They provide a good level of customer service

We have used Platinum many times and will continue to do so. We first heard about them a couple of years ago when they contacted us about a role we were advertising online; and since then they have always found us the perfect fit for our business. They understand what we are looking for and the type of person which is very important to us. Platinum is a personable business and being able to have that good relationship with one person specifically is great. Sometimes you can be passed from pillar to post with some companies, but I have not experienced that with Platinum. They provide a good level of customer service which I believe is important.

Joshua Murphy
Managing Director

We would use Platinum again

I heard about Platinum Recruitment online and I couldn’t speak highly enough of the service provided. They recruited the role and provided candidates as requested both in terms of ability and personality. After an initial set back with a candidate pulling out due to circumstances changing (which was no fault of the consultant) they worked quickly to get another batch of candidates one of whom we employed. We would use Platinum again – the candidates put forward were in line with conversations and of a high standard.

Who will win the Platinum World Cup Sweepstake, Courtney or Dan? ⚽

With Sunday’s final fast approaching, we’re looking forward to seeing who claims the ultimate bragging rights (and less importantly the prize).

We think we can guess who most will be supporting... sorry Courtney!

Who are you backing? 🏆

What better way to celebrate a successful Q2 than an evening of T20 cricket at @emiratesot ? 🏏☀️

Friday night was spent watching Lancashire take on Yorkshire alongside our friends at @volt7agency celebrating a fantastic quarter for @platinumrecruitment.

It was a great opportunity to bring the team together, reflect on our achievements, and enjoy some well-earned downtime. Proud of everything we’ve accomplished and excited for what the rest of the year holds.

Onwards and upwards into Q3! 🚀
