RefX Employer Recruitment Badges
Through RefX® Certification, organisations not only validate their recruitment practices but also earn recognition in the form of distinctive badges. Each badge celebrates a concrete value — from bias-free evaluation and gender equity to accessibility, transparency, and inclusivity across diverse identities. These badges serve as visible proof that an employer’s brand is built on fairness, respect, and equal opportunity.
For candidates, these values are more than symbols; they represent the qualities they actively seek in a future employer. Displaying RefX® badges signals that a company is committed to creating a respectful, transparent, and inclusive hiring culture. In turn, this strengthens employer branding, sets organisations apart in a competitive talent market, and positions them as leaders in building workplaces grounded in trust and shared values.
