Shaping the future
In 2023, Mark Nagle set out to build a team that doesn’t just fill roles, but connects people with opportunity, purpose, and impact. Every consultant brings first-hand sector experience (an average of nine years) so every placement is informed, personal, and meaningful.
What began as a vision to do recruitment differently has grown into a movement: shaping a more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable future for architecture and design.
What we stand for
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to connect talent with opportunity in architecture and design by improving access for under-represented groups and embedding equity, diversity and inclusion across hiring practices in the built environment. Through every placement, we support candidates, employers, and communities to build a more inclusive and sustainable industry for people and the planet.
Our Vision
To move recruitment with the same flow, energy, and precision as great design; connecting people and purpose to build a more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable future for architecture and creative spaces.
Our Values
The Rhythm behind what we do
The name Rhythm felt right from the start; it’s about movement, energy, and flow. Recruitment, like great design, works best when it moves with harmony, care, and precision, and that’s exactly what we bring to every placement. At Rhythm Careers, we innovate, not imitate. We connect Architectural and Interior Design professionals with the right opportunities while helping clients find the perfect talent.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
At Rhythm Careers, we believe the architecture and design industries are stronger when opportunities are accessible to everyone. Diversity, equity and inclusion are central to how we operate, shaping our workplace culture, recruitment practices, client partnerships and the impact we aim to create.
As a remote-first business, we are committed to building an inclusive environment where people feel valued, respected and supported to bring their authentic selves to work. We promote equal opportunities, flexible working and fair processes across our business.
As a specialist recruitment consultancy, we believe we have a responsibility to create fairer access to opportunities. We are committed to ethical and inclusive recruitment practices, helping candidates succeed and supporting our clients to build more diverse teams.
Through our #BeMoreInclusive initiative and partnerships, we also use our expertise and network to help improve access to careers within architecture and design.
We know creating meaningful change requires ongoing commitment. We continue to review our practices, challenge ourselves to improve and work collaboratively to help build a more inclusive industry.
Equity in action
Through our Inclusion in Equity partnership with Blueprint for All, Rhythm Careers creates opportunities for under-represented talent in Architecture and Design. Profits support the Building Futures programme, while our team mentors graduates and engages hiring firms to foster inclusion. Every placement we make helps build a fairer, more inclusive industry.
