Alpha selects its team carefully. Our business succeeds as a result of employing great people, and the team members that stay with us the longest are those who share our values. We believe that:
Alpha is an equal opportunites employer.
What does that mean in practice? It means that, when considering people who want to join us, and also before that when writing job descriptions and placing advertisements, we have a completely open mind. There was a time in the dim and distant past when we selected people according to strict criteria; the "right" qualification from the "right" university, the "right" hobbies and interests, even the "right" look. In fact, you could have said that we employed stereotypes. Now everything has changed and we recognise that a healthy business depends upon diversity. We work as one team but that team is made up of individuals with different abilities, experiences, ages, races, backgrounds, educations....The only attribute we insist on these days is the "right" attitude - and that's not easy to put into words. But we know it when we see it. Let's talk about it.
