A founder screening 200 applicants for a backend role — 3.5 minutes per CV, 700 minutes later — with a shortlist that could have taken under an hour. So we fixed it.

“Most ATS platforms rank candidates by keyword overlap. That tells you who wrote a good resume — not who can do the job.”

I built HireBest because I watched hiring teams drown in CVs while the people who could have done the job well were buried in the pile. The problem was not the volume — it was the tooling.
The idea is simple: give every CV a structured read against the actual job description, surface what matches and what is missing, and explain the reasoning in plain English so a human can verify it. Not a black box — a cited, auditable shortlist.
I keep the team lean on purpose. Every feature has to earn its place by making the actual recruiting decision faster, fairer, or more defensible. We are not building a platform — we are building a better screener.
01Mission

Give every hiring team — from a 5-person startup to a 500-person scale-up — the screening speed and reasoning depth that only a $7,000/year enterprise ATS used to offer.

02How we build

Everything we ship gets held against these. If a feature can't clear all three, it doesn't ship.
01

Speed is a feature

Recruiters should not spend 3.5 minutes per CV. We built HireBest so 100 CVs take 38 seconds — giving teams back hours every week.

02

Honesty over hype

HireBest is an AI screener, not a magic oracle. Every score comes with cited reasoning so you can agree, override, or push back.

03

Yours stays yours

CVs you upload stay in your workspace. Row-level security, no training on your data, no retention beyond your session.
