Democratising digital careers

We hire Spartans based on their attitude, aptitude and potential for success. Employing graduates, non-graduates, career changers and returners, candidates do not have to have a degree or come from a STEM background. However, all Spartans must pass assessments necessary for their specialist training - this may include some straightforward technical tests (with pre-learning materials), verbal, written and psychometric assessments. 

Our job descriptions use inclusive language and terminology to help us attract diverse candidates to apply. Our assessment process then includes a mixture of verbal, written, pychometric, logic and technical tests - enabling space for all individuals to thrive, even if neurodiversities may restrict their confidence in certain areas. It is important to note that Sparta Global's team of talent coordinators have also completed compulsory training around the use of inclusive language and removing unconscious bias across recruitment.

Sparta Global is a safe space for anyone and everyone to learn and grow. Our community supports diversity at every opportunity and we have built an inclusive community that champions different perspectives. When in training, our Spartans spend 8-10 weeks learning in small groups with one consistent Trainer. These parameters ensure each Spartan can access additional one-to-one support if they are challenged by the intensity of training, and have the opportunity to learn from others through building close connections. Our training is flexible by nature and can be adapted to support additional needs for individuals.

We have built a Spartan community that leverages different experiences, backgrounds and viewpoints, encourages creativity and is reflective of today’s increasingly diverse society. We have achieved this through the establishment of internal ED&I networks (including our Women's Network), ED&I focussed thought leadership events (on topics including social mobility and neurodiversity), our annual EqualTech report and research, and storytelling - providing a platform for our diverse people to share their stories through blogs, videos and guest talks.
