UK: updated edition of the voluntary code of conduct for executive search firms

An updated edition of the voluntary code of conduct for executive search firms was published earlier this week: see here (pdf). Thirty-nine firms are code signatories and each is committed to following the Code in respect of their board and senior executive search activities: see here. The Code was created following a recommendation from the Davies Review ("Women on Boards") in 2011.  One of the Code's provisions states that search firms should, when presenting their longlists, ensure that at least 30% of the candidates are women.
