About company

In this AI world, everything is getting lost in translation. But more specifically, the recruiting industry.

Companies big and small have been placing all of their assumptions of their applicants on a resume that is outdated and a Linkedin that hasn't been updated.

We believe companies need more context on who people are when making a hiring decision...especially today.
