𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 Humanitarian organisations like the Nepalese Earthquake Relief Fund (NERF) are vital in supporting communities after natural disasters. Success in these efforts often depends on effective communication and visibility. To enhance NERF’s digital presence, we partnered with them to implement a comprehensive search engine optimisation strategy. This involved keyword research and optimising website content with targeted keywords. NERF also focused on creating high-quality content to engage visitors and improve search rankings. This led to significant improvements in NERF’s online visibility and website traffic, increasing awareness and support for their initiatives. It also attracted broader media coverage and partnerships, amplifying NERF’s global reach. “𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘟𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

𝐑𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 Sharing another highlight today from our B Corp Impact report - Rayan embodies the Xander values and it's our mission to set Rayan (and all our Consultants) up for a successful career which is made of more than strong technical skills. We want to equip our consultants with critical human and business skills, building healthy habits and ways of working.   After graduating, Rayan found it difficult to find a foothold to pursue a career working with data, especially in a tightening market where beginner roles have barriers to entry. “For the longest time, I wished there was a career path I could take where I could learn and upskill further, while at the same time helping people by applying my knowledge. After upskilling in a data bootcamp to try and help kickstart my career, I came across Xander, and uncovered the world and responsibilities of being a Technical Consultant. I realised that this was the perfect career path for me to take to both improve my own skills, and help people who want to leave lasting change, like charities and social enterprises. I would be able to learn new skills every day, and then apply my newfound skills and knowledge towards helping those that need assistance.” Discover more about Rayan and other inspiring stories from the Xander journey in our full report.

𝐀 𝐗𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 This week, we’re sharing a highlight from our B Corp Impact Report each day. Our first post is dedicated to Mimi, who is one of Xander’s many success stories. It highlights why our mission to get more women into tech is so important. Prior to Xander, Mimi was at university completing a master’s degree in physics. Having previously self-taught Python and gained exposure to computational physics, she knew this was an area that she enjoyed and so decided to join Xander to explore a career in data engineering. Although her existing coding knowledge provided a solid starting position, the training provided by Xander allowed her to develop her skills in directions that she had never previously considered. Opportunities included participating in the Quantexa data engineering academy, which involved exciting challenges including learning Scala from scratch. However, as well as the technical development, the most significant benefit Mimi gained from Xander was the skills she has developed as a consultant. “Through the initial training and my client placement, I gained confidence in skills including presentation, interviewing, teaching, stakeholder management and more. As a result of the experiences and support provided by Xander, my previous weaknesses have transformed into key strengths.” Download our full report - link in comments

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 It is time yet again (where did the time go) to share our Impact report, marking our second year in the B Corp community. As the first “Recruit, Train, Deploy” to certify, it is with great pride that we showcase our impact as a digital consultancy with a purpose: helping diverse people gain access to a career in technology and provide businesses with access to hard-to-find digital talent. The report reflects a year shaped by a challenging environment. As a people business, we need clients who invest in growth and in people. Amongst uncertainty, unrest and the rise of AI, we certainly felt the pressure. But we are pleased to be able to write a report that celebrates our achievements and points us to opportunities ahead.   This includes:  ⭐ Becoming Quantexa's first Education Partner and supporting their clients on the road to self sufficiency  ⭐ Supporting 8 social enterprises with pro-bono work delivered by our consultants  ⭐ Exceeding the industry average of female representation in tech roles (37% vs 19%)  ⭐ Partnering with Power to Connect to donate over 50 laptops to help tackle digital exclusion for young residents in Wandsworth ⭐ Inspiring some of our Partners to explore B Corp certification   Of course, we also recognise that we have areas to improve and challenges to overcome. That's why we are committed to: ➡ Continuing to increase our intake of individuals from non-degree and non-tech backgrounds  ➡ Working alongside our clients and partners to support them with their own DE&I initiatives  ➡ Growing our partnership and ecosystem to reach more clients – and securing more opportunities for our consultants We are grateful to be part of the B Corp community, a global movement using business as a force for good. We would like to thank all our clients, partners, and consultants for working with us over the past year, for inspiring us, and for leading positive change with us. To celebrate this milestone, we will be sharing stories and reflections from the report during this week. We hope you enjoy reading them, and if you'd like to know more about what we do, please get in touch. Download the full report - link in comments
