Why “Carbon”?
A Carbon atom, stored under the earth’s surface for millions of years, has the potential to one day become a gem. Once found and polished, their hidden value becomes apparent.
Our Mission
Our mission at Carbon is to uncover these hidden gems, connecting the Western technology world to untapped talent markets they would least think to look in.
“Democratising access to exceptional global talent based on merit, and not one’s postcode”
Exceptional talent hides in plain sight around the world. Despite a growing global population of
62M tech professionals, the overwhelming majority of companies only engage a small pool of talent privileged to be located in crowded Western hubs.
THE CARBON WAY
Innovation thrives on diverse perspectives. By building globally inclusive teams, you’ll break free from biases, design with empathy, and lead your market with product development that solves real challenges.
