About RecruitIQ

RecruitIQ is a company whose purpose is to design recruiting products to help people hire better.

We want to create delightful experiences that enhance human intelligence in the many forms it presents, whether understanding, decision making, or relationship building. That's our starting point.

RecruitIQ is a workspace for the modern recruiter that aims to put us — the user — in the middle of the information important to us and help us think and create on top of it. Here's more of our thinking behind it.

Personal recruiting for an
intelligent world

Many of the best placements start in personal connections

Recruiting relationships are deeply personal. They contain our private notes and thoughts, but have also resulted in many of humanity's greatest careers. It's a deeply rich and personal medium supporting a depth and diversity of human potential.

Applicant Tracking Systems and the web

Today, we do much of our hiring on computers, but the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has taken over it. On the one hand, it makes sense, because the web is so engaging and powerful. But there are two big problems. First, it's a tool for managing, not connecting.

1 The Clutter of Complexity. Most recruiting software has become bloated. Features upon features are piled on top of each other until the human element is buried under dropdown menus and required fields. We spend more time feeding the database than feeding the relationships that actually drive hiring.

2 The Loss of Agency. Second, it's not personal. It's taken our data and splattered it all over the web. Candidates become rows in a spreadsheet, and recruiters become data entry clerks. The "tracking" in Applicant Tracking System has become literal—we track people like packages, rather than treating them like professionals.

Reclaiming the Craft of Recruiting

RecruitIQ is our answer to this digital clutter. We believe that technology should be a bicycle for the recruiter's mind—amplifying your natural ability to spot talent and build rapport, rather than replacing it with algorithms and forms.

We are building a platform that is fast, fluid, and invisible. When you are on the phone with a candidate, you shouldn't be fighting your software. You should be present. RecruitIQ is designed to get out of your way, capturing the details you need without breaking your flow.

Our Core Design Principles

●Speed is a Feature. Every millisecond of latency is a distraction. We optimize for instant interactions so you can move at the speed of thought.
●Data Ownership. Your candidate data is your competitive advantage. We believe in strict privacy and giving you total control over your intelligence assets.
●Intelligence, not Automation. AI should suggest, not decide. We use machine learning to surface insights—like which candidate is most likely to move—but leave the final call to you.

RecruitIQ

RecruitIQ is an intelligent recruiting workspace that takes a swing at this problem. It's early, but reflects ideas that we wanted to see for reclaiming our data, our place in the middle of it, and our role: not only as a manager, but as a matchmaker.

We are a team of engineers, designers, and former recruiters who were tired of the status quo. We are building the tool we always wished we had. A tool that respects the craft. A tool that understands that at the end of every resume is a person, and at the end of every job description is a dream.
