Pipeline on autopilot

Your stages, your rules. A strong fit moves on by itself, and a no goes out with a kind, specific reason.

Screening with receipts

Every CV read against your must-haves, with the reasons for and against on the page.

Tests nobody fakes

1,078 ready-made tests, AI-written papers, or your own CSV. Code runs against hidden tests while it records.

Interviews that skip the obvious

Invite the whole shortlist at once, with a personal note. What is proven is never asked again.

Integrity, minus the theatre

Sixteen signals, each pinned to the second on the recording. A reason to look, never a verdict.

Decide together

Finalists side by side on your own evidence. The team votes; the boss gets a read-only link.

Numbers that travel

From the first view of the role to the hire, in one chart and one PDF.

It records. You decide.

Integrity, on the record.

8 safeguards you switch on. 24 signals pinned to the second on the recording. You make the call.

  • Not opted in, not in the search. No back door.

  • Every run kept on the record. You can always show your working.

  • Only demonstrated work flips a skill to verified. The source is stored with it.

  • The record notes what happened and when, and you can jump to the moment and watch it. Nothing is scored as guilt and no keystrokes are logged. Nobody is rejected by a machine: a rule can suggest, and a person decides.

The questions you were going to ask anyway.
