HR tech firm, Cappfinity has announced a new partnership with specialist 
graduate diversity recruitment company, Rare, to increase and accelerate the 
hiring of diverse talent into elite professions.

The partnership will offer clients the use of Rare's Contextual Recruitment 
System (CRS) to identify outperforming candidates using Rare's unique 
classification system, along with Cappfinity's strengths-based assessment model 
to find out what candidates are naturally good at and enjoy.

Both companies are pioneers in digital and virtual assessment, with Rare 
specialising exclusively in the recruitment and development of diverse talent.

Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Clark explained why Cappfinity have chosen to 
partner with Rare on this opportunity:

"We're pleased to be working with Rare to help level the playing field for 
ethnically diverse candidates seeking careers in elite professions.

"Data from Gov.uk confirms that whilst the employment gap between white ethnic 
groups and other groups has gradually decreased over the past 20 years, there 
is still much more to do to increase diversity in elite professions.  We want 
to play our part in addressing this disparity by removing barriers in the 
recruitment process.”

Rare Founder & Managing Director, Raphael Mokades explained:

"We're delighted to be partnering with Cappfinity in service of a shared 
purpose to make recruitment into elite professional careers more accessible for 
a diverse range of candidates.

"Our unique CRS allows firms to assess a candidate's academic performance 
against that of the overall performance of their university class or subject 
area, to provide better context into how that set of grades was achieved. This 
also helps employers to easily identify those that standout against their 
university peers, regardless of their background."
