The Problem

Hiring teams are receiving hundreds or thousands of applications within hours, many of them optimized or exaggerated by AI. Recruiters often lack the domain expertise to separate real experience from keyword-matched resumes, while hiring managers are forced to spend extra time reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates who later fail practical tests. The result is slower backfills, weaker candidate signal, and frustration on both sides of the market.

Potential Solution

Start as a productized screening service for one role family, such as FP&A analyst hiring or SRE hiring. The service reviews resumes against role-specific workstreams, runs short practical assessments, and gives the hiring manager a ranked shortlist with evidence notes. Fulfillment can begin manually with domain experts, templates, calibrated tests, and structured scorecards before any software is built.

Why Now?

AI has made it easier for applicants and recruiters to generate high-volume, low-signal job market activity. Employers now need a trusted way to verify real competence without adding more generic automation to the funnel.
