Fairness by default
Bias controls and audits aren't an add-on — they ship in the product and stay on unless you turn them off.
Our story
Founded by recruiters and engineers
HireAI was founded in 2021 by a talent leader and a machine-learning engineer who kept running into the same wall. Every hire meant hundreds of resumes, a handful of rushed reviews, and the nagging sense that the best candidate had already been skipped.
They built the first version of HireAI to score their own pipeline. Within a quarter, time-to-hire fell by more than half and the shortlists were noticeably stronger — and more diverse. Other talent teams started asking for it.
Today HireAI screens millions of applications for more than 1,200 hiring teams across 30 countries. We've grown, but the founding rule hasn't changed: every score has to be explainable, and every candidate deserves a fair read.
Mission & values
Faster hiring, without trading away fairness
We exist to help teams find the right people quickly and give every applicant a fair shot. These values keep us honest while we do it.
Explainable AI
Every score comes with reasons. If we can't explain why a candidate ranked where they did, we don't ship it.
Candidate respect
Applicants' data is theirs. We protect it, never sell it, and never use it to train shared models.
Speed that matters
Great candidates accept other offers fast. We obsess over shaving days off your time-to-hire.
Built with recruiters
We design alongside the people who use HireAI every day, not in a vacuum away from the hiring floor.
Wider access
Better screening should widen the door, not narrow it — surfacing talent that traditional filters miss.

Our approach
AI that assists, never replaces
HireAI is built to make recruiters sharper, not to take the decision out of their hands. The model surfaces and explains; your team always makes the call.
Score with reasons
Every ranking comes with the evidence behind it, so reviewers can trust it or challenge it.
Audit for fairness
We continuously test scoring models for adverse impact and flag anything that drifts.
Keep humans in charge
HireAI recommends a shortlist; your recruiters and hiring managers make the final decision.
