History of Clarity Recruitment

Clarity Recruitment was founded by Joseph Diubaldo in 2012 with the mission to provide exceptional recruitment services while maintaining a strong commitment to integrity. The company’s name was inspired by a candidate whom Diubaldo had helped “find clarity” in her career through his advice and coaching. Over the past decade, they have focused on helping scale-ups and global investment firms recruit CFOs and strategic professionals in finance and data analytics.

Their expertise spans emerging industries such as SaaS, Cannabis, CPG, and Green Energy. The company has developed technology in partnership with behavioural scientists, creating a recruitment process that improves hiring decisions and reduces bias. This technology enables clients to quickly find top talent that drives organizational growth, from fundraising to IPOs.
