BRIMSTONE TO USE MOGUL’S DIVERSITY HIRING PLATFORM
Carbon-Negative Cement Producer Brings on Diversity Hiring Firm
(NEW YORK) - Mogul, Inc., a disruptor in the HR Tech and executive recruiting industry, today announced that it has signed a deal with Oakland, CA-based Brimstone. Brimstone is a venture-backed climate technology company that created the world’s first carbon-negative portland cement.
In the past year, Brimstone raised $55 million in Series A funding and is scaling up to build its first pilot plant outside of Reno, Nevada and advance towards industrial-scale production. Traditional cement production is responsible for 7.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with a greenhouse gas impact rivaling cars. Brimstone promises to deliver the exact same cement builders have used for 150 years using a breakthrough carbon-negative process, transforming cement from a driver of climate change into a climate solution.
“As we scale our operations and grow, we are dedicated to continuing to build the strong, diverse team we need to decarbonize cement production, one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries. We engaged Mogul to help us source diverse candidates with the technical skills and know-how to propel us to the next level,” said Akshai Baskaran, Senior Director of Strategy, Finance and Business Development at Brimstone.
According to the agreement, Brimstone will use Mogul’s innovative Talent Acquisition Platform to attract, source, and hire top, diverse talent. Mogul’s platform has disrupted the HR Tech industry with patent-pending software filters that allow recruiters to source underrepresented talent in several ways, including by gender, ethnicity, disability status, and veteran status, without limiting search results. No other talent acquisition platform offers this combination of abilities.
Brimstone’s cement is chemically and physically identical to cement manufactured using conventional methods. The process, however, is different, beginning with a different rock that (unlike limestone) contains no carbon and producing a compound that permanently removes carbon from the atmosphere– making the whole process carbon-negative from quarry to plant gate.
