Founded in 2020

It started with a thesis centered around the idea that the interview hiring procedure is a sales process. There are plenty of automation tools and tools that leverage AI, but we concluded that the industry is lacking a way to combine these instruments with an appropriate amount of human interaction. We saw the opportunity to create fundamental change.

Over the years, the hiring process has become too transactional and inefficient. This leads to numerous issues on both the employer and the job seeker sides. The need for a solution to address both sides is more important now than ever before.

We do this primarily by focusing on three synergistic goals:

1- Leveraging AI to create a consistent hiring process

2- Creating a solution for both employers and job seekers

3- Providing an agnostic interview format

HireRQ has developed smarter processes that create better connections between employers and job seekers. Using our unique tools, organizations now have the ability to leverage technology to humanize the hiring process, resulting in exceptional outcomes.
