'We want street smart candidates' - entire magic circle pledges to use contextual hiring tool

All five magic circle firms have pledged to use Rare's contextual recruitment system (CRS) aimed at boosting social mobility.

Macfarlanes, Norton Rose Fulbright and Travers Smith have also committed to use the recruitment tool.

Rare's CRS allows law firms to see candidates GCSE and A-level results in the context of the average performance of their school.
