About SmartHire
We're on a mission to fix hiring by making it about what you can do.
Our Story
Hiring is broken. Resumes get skimmed in seconds. Take-home tests go unpaid. Interviews test interview skills, not job skills. Meanwhile, great candidates get filtered out before anyone sees what they can actually do.
SmartHire flips the model. Companies post real challenges, the kind their team actually faces. Candidates solve them in whatever format shows their skills best. AI evaluates every submission against the employer's own rubric, fairly and consistently.
The result? Candidates get hired for their work. Employers get signal they can trust. And hiring becomes about ability, not optics.
"Make hiring about what people can do, not who they know."
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we build.
Show, Don't Tell
We believe skills matter more than buzzwords. Real work beats polished resumes.
Fairness First
AI rubric scoring removes bias. Every candidate is judged on the same criteria.
Two-Sided Trust
We protect candidates' IP and give employers real signal. Both sides win.
Outcomes Over Hype
We track what happens after the hire. Better matches mean better retention.
