Company mission
To empower every organization to hire, grow and retain people of diverse talent by using science backed data.
46% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
When Brqy launched its talent assessment platform in 2020, it was focused more on accurate recruitment. Its AI was predominantly used by hiring managers to analyse job descriptions and identify suitable candidates
While this is still one of the platform’s main features, it’s since expanded its offering to also cater for talent development, retention, internal mobility, team building, and improved Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) in hiring and promotion
The company’s slight pivot towards DE&I has proven to be a wise move, as there’s been a huge rise in demand for truly unbiased recruiting solutions by way of AI and Machine Learning based algorithms
Bryq has been growing strongly since launch, seeing a huge surge in revenue in 2021 and winning plenty of awards as well as media praise. What makes this more impressive is how, until very recently, Bryq was able to scale without much VC backing. Now that funding is secured, things could accelerate quickly

Company values
- Evidence-Based Thinking - Research is the foundation of Bryq. Each step we take involves thorough research and knowledge of a topic, and every decision we make needs to be backed by data. We like to close the loop and measure the result of our actions.
- Personal Growth - Bryq is growing fast, and with company growth comes professional growth for our employees. Everyone at Bryq is encouraged to “level up” their careers through a supportive environment and company-wide quarterly training.
- Individual Responsibility - Bryqsters understand the details within a process. They are responsible decision-makers and hold themselves accountable for their actions. Working independently and owning their work is crucial for company success.
- Evolve & Adapt - We are passionate about learning and constantly seek to improve and innovate at Bryq. We learn from each other’s challenges and successes, and we know that if we’re not continuously changing - we’re falling behind. No year at Bryq looks the same.
- Bias to action - We're united by an innate drive to take action and make a difference in the recruitment and talent intelligence space. Our team members prefer action to inaction. We take risks if we have the data to justify taking them.
