Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
SBF Consultancy was founded in Karachi to build technology that reflects the diversity of Pakistan — a country of over 70 languages, multiple ethnic communities, and a rapidly growing professional class of women in STEM.
Our Commitment
We are committed to building a team that mirrors Pakistan's diversity. Our hiring process is structured to eliminate bias at every stage. We actively recruit from universities in underrepresented cities and have built direct partnerships with organisations creating pathways for women into technology.
We believe SBF Consultancy should be a place where talent is the only prerequisite — regardless of gender, ethnicity, geography, or socioeconomic background.
Our DEI Initiatives
Bias-Free Hiring Process
All job descriptions are reviewed for exclusionary language before publication. Shortlisting panels are cross-functional, and compensation bands are role-based — not negotiation-driven — to eliminate pay gaps from the outset.
Geographic Diversity Recruitment
We actively recruit from universities in underrepresented cities including Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, and Hyderabad — not only from the major metropolitan tech hubs. Remote-first roles are offered to all positions where feasible.
Women in Tech Pipeline
Women in technology are a priority focus for our internship and graduate recruitment. We partner with Girls Who Code chapters and TechWomen Pakistan to create direct pathways into our engineering and consulting teams.
Unconscious Bias Training
All team leads and hiring managers participate in annual unconscious bias training. We track training completion and tie it to performance review criteria for anyone involved in hiring decisions.
Pay Equity Reporting
We publish internal pay equity data to senior leadership on a semi-annual basis, broken down by role tier, gender, and geography. We are committed to closing any identified gaps within each 12-month window.
Inclusive Culture Practices
Friday prayer time is protected for all Muslim employees. Ramadan working hours are adjusted company-wide. Religious and cultural observances across all traditions observed by our team are formally recognised as leave entitlements.
