Company mission

To help the best employers in the world build better workforces that also reflect society's diversity.

Our take

Founded in 2005, Rare Recruitment is a diversity focused recruitment agency focused on accessibility in high-powered professions such as law and executive leadership. Through its Contextual Recruitment System, the company analyses its clients’ candidates and places achievements into the specific contexts of the job specifications. This ensures that no candidates slip between the cracks.

Alongside its candidate-elevating tech product, Rare Recruitment also developed the Hemisphere app, a bias-combating training platform with a 10,000+ user base. Not only that, the recruitment agency oversees career development and guidance courses, focusing not only on the recruitment process, but candidate development.

This balance of tech innovation and human guidance has helped Rare grow a 1,100+ client list and a highly successful track record for its candidates and client companies. It won the 2024 Business Tech For Good Award, exemplifying the mark it's making on the recruitment industry.
