Our Story
We're helping businesses, and governments, and as many professions as we can, to look more like the communities and the countries that they serve.
We started out tiny. Now we’re the best in the world at what we do.
Our Data
Data powers everything we do.
Since 2005, we've interviewed candidates using our What Makes You Tick software, to capture a unique set of attitudinal and experiential data. It helps us send you candidates not just with the best chance of being hired, but of being successful in the long term.
Our Contextual Recruitment System (CRS) measures candidates' achievements, including academic performance at university, against the classification systems we've developed. So we can put candidates' achievements into context, and identify outperformers others miss.

Rare Rising Stars is an annual event which showcases the incredible achievements of the best black students in the UK.
