Commitment to Diversity

Diversity and inclusion are at the core of Benchmark’s mission. As a 100% visible-minority-owned company, led by Gary Wong and Raymond Sze, we take pride in fostering a workplace that reflects the diverse communities we serve. Internally, one-third of our team and one-quarter of our account managers are women. Externally, we strive to present a diverse range of candidates to clients, ensuring that workplaces benefit from varied perspectives and talents.

Our approach to diversity goes beyond metrics; it’s embedded in our organizational values and recruitment strategies. By maintaining a diverse network and actively promoting inclusion, we help clients achieve their diversity goals while delivering the best talent in the market.
