Why Employers Choose Our Consultancy

As an employer, building a strong workforce starts with inclusive hiring, but navigating the criminal justice system can be complex. Questions around background checks, legal risks, and workplace inclusivity can lead to uncertainty, leaving many business owners hesitant to take on employees with criminal records.

At Myrtos Consultancy, we understand the fears and concerns surrounding inclusive hiring. Our criminal justice consultancy provides clear, actionable guidance to help employers make informed decisions, ensuring they support rehabilitation while safeguarding their business.

Esther from Myrtos Consultancy was professional, insightful, and generous with her time. I reached out to Myrtos with questions about DBS checks, due diligence, and volunteering. Esther asked all the right questions, gave careful thought to my challenges before the meeting, and came armed with practical ideas and a wealth of professional knowledge that showed awareness of my particular context. Highly recommend.
