Between us we have 90 years' recruitment and development experience and 60 years' product experience. Half our team are former Rare clients or candidates. And none of us will be satisfied until our services and our software have helped create racial equality in the organisations we work for.
Data powers everything we do.
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.
The CRS is hardwired into all our products, allowing you instantly to search and filter by categories of data that had not even been discovered a few years ago.
