Company mission

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
