CARRHURE Executive Search

---

CARRHURE Executive Search is committed to promoting gender pay equity both internally and through our professional practices.

Internally, we apply transparent compensation principles based on role scope, responsibility, experience, and contribution, rather than negotiation or prior salary history. We regularly review compensation levels to ensure consistency and fairness across comparable roles and assignments, regardless of gender.

As part of our governance and compliance approach, we have initiated internal discussions and training on pay equity and pay transparency, aligned with EPIC standards and EU pay transparency principles. These discussions inform the development and continuous improvement of our internal policies.

Externally, through our executive search and advisory work, we actively support clients in implementing fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory compensation practices. For roles based in the EU, we strictly comply with EU pay transparency rules by working with predefined salary ranges and refraining from requesting salary history, thereby preventing the perpetuation of structural pay inequalities.

We also promote gender-balanced shortlists and advise boards and leadership teams on equitable pay frameworks as part of our broader commitment to diversity, inclusion, and responsible governance.

EPIC is highly relevant to CARRHURE Executive Search, as its principles align closely with our values, governance standards, and professional practices.

As an executive search firm working globally with not-for-profit, public-interest, and mission-driven organizations, we operate at the intersection of leadership, governance, and equity. EPIC provides a credible framework to strengthen our approach to pay transparency, non-discrimination, and fair employment practices—both internally and in the advice, we provide to clients.

EPIC also supports our commitment to continuous improvement. Its standards help us benchmark our policies, identify gaps, and formalize best practices related to pay equity, accountability, and ethical leadership. This is particularly relevant as regulatory requirements evolve, including the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Beyond compliance, EPIC reinforces our role as a responsible partner to boards, leaders, and institutions. By aligning with EPIC, we signal to clients, candidates, and partners that we take equity, transparency, and ethical employment practices seriously and integrate them into our decision-making and advisory work.
