Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This Inclusive Hiring Policy (the "Policy") describes Marketeq's commitment to fair and inclusive practices throughout its recruitment and hiring processes. Marketeq believes that inclusive hiring enables us to access the widest possible pool of talent and to build diverse, high-performing teams. This Policy supplements our Equal Opportunity Statement and Diversity and Inclusion Policy. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this Policy is to describe Marketeq's approach to inclusive hiring. This Policy applies to Marketeq's recruitment and hiring activities and to those involved in the recruitment process. It reflects our commitment to attracting and selecting talent through fair, merit-based, and inclusive practices. This Policy should be read together with our Equal Opportunity Statement. It applies across the jurisdictions in which we recruit.

2. Commitment to Inclusive Hiring

Marketeq is committed to recruiting and hiring in a manner that is fair, inclusive, and based on merit. As a remote-first organization that draws on a global talent pool, we believe that inclusive hiring enables us to attract the best people from a wide range of backgrounds. We seek to ensure that our hiring processes are accessible and free from unfair bias. Our commitment to inclusive hiring supports our broader diversity and inclusion goals. We view inclusive hiring as essential to building strong teams.

3. Fair and Merit-based Selection

Marketeq evaluates candidates based on their skills, experience, qualifications, and potential to succeed in the role. We seek to apply consistent and objective criteria throughout the selection process. We do not base hiring decisions on characteristics that are unrelated to a person's ability to perform the role. We aim to assess each candidate fairly and on their merits. Merit-based selection helps to ensure that opportunities are allocated fairly.

4. Reducing Bias

Marketeq seeks to reduce the influence of unfair bias in its hiring processes. We aim to design job descriptions, assessments, and interviews in a manner that focuses on relevant criteria. We encourage those involved in hiring to be aware of bias and to make decisions based on evidence and job-related factors. We consider how our processes can be improved to support fair evaluation. Reducing bias helps us to make better and fairer hiring decisions.

5. Accessible Recruitment

Marketeq is committed to making its recruitment process accessible to candidates with disabilities and to providing reasonable accommodations where needed. We seek to ensure that application materials, assessments, and interviews are accessible, and we encourage candidates to inform us of any accommodations they require. Further detail regarding our approach is set out in our Reasonable Accommodation Policy. Accessible recruitment supports our commitment to inclusive hiring. We handle accommodation requests with respect and confidentiality.

6. Broadening the Talent Pool

Marketeq seeks to attract candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and to broaden its talent pool. As a remote-first organization, we are able to consider candidates from many locations, which supports our access to diverse talent. We aim to reach candidates through channels that support a broad and inclusive applicant pool. Broadening our talent pool enhances the quality and diversity of our workforce. We view access to diverse talent as a strategic advantage.

7. Consistency and Fairness

Marketeq seeks to apply its hiring practices consistently and fairly across candidates and roles. We aim to provide candidates with a positive and respectful experience throughout the recruitment process. We seek to communicate clearly and to make decisions based on relevant criteria. Consistency and fairness support the integrity of our hiring process. We are committed to treating all candidates with respect.

8. Reporting Concerns and Non-Retaliation

Marketeq encourages candidates and personnel to raise any concerns regarding the fairness or inclusiveness of our hiring practices. Concerns may be reported to us at legal@marketeqdigital.com, and we take such reports seriously. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. We investigate reported concerns appropriately and take action where warranted. Open reporting supports our commitment to inclusive hiring.

9. Changes to This Policy

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this Inclusive Hiring Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Policy, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
