Our story · Since 2021

It Didn't Start With Artificial Intelligence.
It Started With a Hiring Problem.

In 2021, we started ConsultMeIn with a simple objective: help companies find the right people. What followed was a journey through startup hiring, leadership hiring, executive hiring and executive search — and hundreds of conversations with CHROs and Recruitment Heads. Those conversations revealed a problem that couldn't be ignored. The hiring process was fundamentally broken.

The problem

The Problem Wasn't a Lack of Effort

Recruiters were working hard. Hiring managers were spending hours reviewing profiles and interviewing candidates. HR leaders were investing in processes and technology. Candidates were investing weeks of their time. Yet the problems remained.

Too many resumes, too little quality
Job descriptions don't always capture what the hiring manager really wants
Recruiters spend too much time screening
Resume experience doesn't necessarily equal actual capability
Interview decisions are inconsistent
Candidates are assessed differently by different interviewers
Hiring managers lose confidence in recruitment
Background verification takes too long
Candidates can cheat or plagiarise
The right candidate can still be missed

The resume wasn't actually a match for the job.

3–4 weeks

That was sometimes how long it took to discover the mismatch — after screening, interviews and multiple stakeholder interactions.

Years of recruitment experience

During our journey at ConsultMeIn, we had the opportunity to speak with and interview more than 50 CHROs and hundreds of Recruitment Heads across companies and industries. We talked about the Why's…. the How's…. the What's. We talked about hiring Managers, Senior Managers, Directors, VPs, Leaders and Executives.

How do we know this candidate really fits the role?
How do we know the candidate can actually do what the resume says?
How do we make interviews more consistent?
How do we reduce subjectivity?
How do we know we're making the right hiring decision?

How do we make hiring better?

The pattern

The same gaps surfaced in nearly every conversation. The tools existed to manage the process — but not to bring intelligence to the decisions inside it. That realization pointed to something that had to be built, one question at a time.

The evolution

One Question at a Time

Each stage began with a single, honest question — and the answer became the next step.

The question
ConsultIQ

Can we compare a Job Description with a Resume and determine how well they actually match?

JD vs. Resume scoring and ranking — the first attempt to put a number on fit.

What if we could add intelligence to that matching?

Move beyond keywords and basic matching into relevance, skills, experience and role requirements.

A resume tells you where someone has been. It doesn’t necessarily tell you what they can actually do.

Capability became measurable — assessments, interviews and verification.

ConsultMeIn Hiring Intelligence, Recruitment Engine

CHIRE is not another Applicant Tracking System.

An ATS helps organizations manage the hiring process. CHIRE is designed to bring intelligence to the decisions within that process.

Traditional ATS

  • Manage applications
  • Track candidates
  • Manage workflow
  • Store recruitment information
CHIRE
Brings intelligence to decisions
  • Understand role requirements
  • Match skills and experience
  • Assess capability
  • Structure interviews
  • Evaluate candidates
  • Verify information
  • Generate hiring intelligence
  • Build secure talent intelligence

We believe hiring should be as human as the people it serves — and as rigorous as the data behind it.

For employers

Decisions backed by real skill signals rather than guesswork.

For candidates

Being seen for what they can do, not just where they've been.

For employees

Growth paths that are visible, fair and earned.

Technology should sharpen judgment, never replace the care that ideal hiring needs.

Beyond hiring

Beyond Hiring

We believe the future of HR will not be built on dozens of disconnected systems that each know one small piece of the employee journey. It will be built on connected intelligence.

The platform

What We Are Building

Resume & JD Intelligence

Understand how closely a candidate's experience and skills align with the actual requirements of a role.

Skill & Talent Assessment

Go beyond the resume and understand capability.

Intelligent Interviews

Bring greater consistency, structure and intelligence into candidate evaluation.

Psychometric Assessment

Understand behavioural and psychological dimensions that can help organizations evaluate team and role alignment.

Background Verification

Build greater confidence in candidate information and history.

Secure Talent Intelligence

Protect and preserve the intelligence created throughout the hiring process.

AI-Powered HR Intelligence

Create an operating layer that can eventually extend beyond hiring into the broader talent lifecycle.

Trust framework

Trust Is Not a Feature. It Is the Foundation.

When technology influences decisions about people, trust cannot be an afterthought.

01
Accuracy

Better information creates better signals.

02
Fairness

People should be evaluated on capability rather than assumptions.

03
Transparency

Important decisions should not disappear inside a black box.

04
Human Oversight

AI should augment human judgment, not eliminate it.

05
Data Security

Talent information deserves the highest level of care.

06
Explainable AI

Intelligence should help people understand the why, not simply provide an answer.

07
Enterprise Reliability

Technology supporting people decisions must be dependable, secure and scalable.

"If this technology were making a decision about us, would we trust it?"

If the answer is no, we have more work to do.

The journey

Built From Real Recruitment Experience

CHIRE wasn't created because we thought HR needed another piece of software. It was created because we spent years doing the work. We saw the problems. We heard the frustrations. We experienced the inefficiencies. We spoke to the people responsible for hiring. And we saw what happened when the wrong decision was made.

"We are proud that what started as a recruitment company in 2021 has evolved into an attempt to fundamentally change how organizations understand, assess, hire and develop people."

The future we see

What if HR could understand people with the same intelligence modern technology brings to everything else?

We see a future where HR doesn't have to work with fragmented information. Where recruiters don't have to spend weeks discovering that a candidate was never really a match. Where hiring managers have better evidence behind their decisions. Where candidates are evaluated for what they can actually do. Where skills become more visible. Where assessments become more meaningful. Where interviews become more consistent. Where AI handles intelligence at scale while humans retain judgment, empathy and accountability. And where the intelligence created during hiring can continue creating value throughout a person's journey inside an organization.

Our ambition is simple.
To build the platform One can trust for all things related to Human Resources.

The future of hiring needs more than another system.

It needs Intelligence you can trust.
