Hireguide is an end-to-end interview management system that makes hiring decisions faster, fairer and twice as predictive of performance. The Challenge: Talent teams know that skills-based, structured interviewing delivers much better results but today these practices are just too hard to implement at scale. Most ATS’ tick a box, but lack the specialized interview capabilities to deliver consistent, high-quality interview decisions at scale. The outcome is often a costly, labor-intensive, and unstructured interview process leading to higher attrition. Critical hiring data is also not captured to improve the system. The Solution: Hireguide unites AI and hiring science to make it easy for interviewers to adopt best practices at every step. 01 Before: Recruiters save hours by building a skills-based scorecard and multi-round interview plan with question guides for any role in minutes. 02 During: Interviewers automatically capture shareable recordings and notes. 03 After: Teams can compare candidates and make evidence-based decisions. 04 Throughout: Valuable insights are captured to provide coaching and tune the process for better outcomes. Hireguide consolidates dozens of point solutions and manual processes with a single integration. It pulls and returns data from 40+ ATS’ but is not limited by their workflows. In short, great hires from a great process. The Mission: Founded by 10+ Sr. LinkedIn alumni and I/O psychology PhDs. As a Certified B Corp were on a mission to make 1 billion annual interviews clearer and less biased by making skills-based structured interviewing easy to use. Hireguide is growing very quickly and is funded by the best VCs and CEOs in HR-Tech.

We tackle important social problems by developing creative and high-risk solutions, then work to make the best of them real. We are guided by where and how we can have the greatest impact. We dont want to own our ideas long-term. So, we design solutions that can be adopted and scaled by others, and work with lots of partners. We are proud that this approach has allowed us to play early and influential roles in social finance, social enterprise and demand-led social hiring. Today, we are thinking about the ownership agenda, workforce development, impact investing, community businesses, and the risks posed by wealth concentration on democratic stability (we didn’t say laser-like focus was a particular strength!). More on this thinking is on our website and if were a good partner for your big idea, please dont hesitate to reach out.
