Anthony Webster on authenticity, inclusion and leading DVF Recruitment to success

Episode notes

This week on The RAG Podcast, I am revisiting my episode with Anthony Webster, Managing Director of DVF Recruitment and board member at Career Legal. Anthony and I go way back - we worked together for five years and even planned to launch Hoxo together before his journey took a different turn. At that point, Anthony made a life-changing decision: he came out as gay after years of hiding his true self. We talk about: The challenges of coming out in a male-dominated industry Why authenticity and inclusion are vital for culture and growth His journey from recruiter to MD and board member The impact of living openly on his career and leadership style How DVF has grown under his leadership as part of the Career Legal group Anthony’s story is powerful, personal, and incredibly inspiring. It’s about resilience, honesty, and the importance of creating safe and inclusive spaces in recruitment.
