Partner | Co-Founder

With an intrinsic desire to help people grow, whether that be a business or an individual’s career, Paul Wakeman founded BlackCode to help improve how we engage and treat one another. Believing it’s time for us to all be a little more human, kind and understanding – a relentless focus to help people with their challenges of change ahead.

As a client, I have found Paul’s approach to addressing our requirements to be efficient, professional and adaptable to our needs. Paul takes the time to understand our business which was at early stage in its definition and growth. He provided a selection of candidates that helped us develop our thinking and bring on the talent we needed. Paul is a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He is easy to engage with, knowledgeable, very professional and proactive always.

Partner | Co-Founder

afernandes@blackcode.co.uk

With a passion for the Digital world along with the desire to genuinely help change how recruitment is done, both now and in the future, Aditi Fernandes founded BlackCode so that she could truly integrate Diversity & Inclusion as part of her own working practices, whilst supporting clients to incorporate this as part of their own working and recruiting practices.

Aditi worked diligently to understand my requirements and put forward potential applications that met all business needs and made the hiring process smooth and seamless. I couldn’t recommend Aditi more.
