What is Ripe? 
Ripe Recruiters is a staffing boutique that focuses on ensuring fair employment opportunities.
What we do
RIPE Recruiters advocates for the “ageful”professional so they may obtain either permanent, contract, or interim employment. We search for and match talented individuals with solid and diverse companies.
Why we're necessary
The American workforce is aging. Nearly 40% of the workforce is projected to be over the age of 50 by 2022. With current unemployment levels and the growing amount of people applying for jobs, it is imperative to have someone ensuring that their resumes are not only getting in front of employers, but are being seriously considered, which may ultimately result in a hiring.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to serve as an employment advocate and to make educational tools available for further growth and development, while contradicting stereotypes related to ageism in the professional environment.
The Thing about Ageism, is that the group we see as different, is our own future Selves.

A Manifesto Against Ageism
Did You Know?
Studies reveal a multitude of positives as to why companies should hire ageful professionals including:
- Experience
- Knowledge
- Work Ethic
A study commissioned by AARP called A Business Case for Workers Age 50+: A Look at the Value of Experience, found that members of the workforce who are 50 and older continue to be the most engaged age cohort. These professionals tend to be:
- Less resistant to change
- Less likely to leave the organization
- Less likely to miss work
- Enthusiastic about working
- Innovative and able to keep up with technology
