You might have heard about contextual recruitment, but what is it? Many firms take about using contextual recruitment as part of their inclusive recruitment strategy, using products like Rare’s Contextual Recruitment System (CRS), but what does it actually mean?
Contextual Recruitment means that recruiters/firms look at the context in which a candidate’s experiences have been gained and looks to increase the number of people hired from disadvantaged backgrounds by putting their achievements and experience into context and takes everything into account.Contextualised recruitment allows you to see candidates who have had to work harder to get to where they are.
Rare’s CRS which is a popular example among law firms, looks at school quality, postcode as well as the candidates’ application responses.
