The problem
Too many applications look the same, CVs miss the real signal, and teams spend hours screening before they know who is actually worth interviewing.
1,000+ per role
Open a role and you drown in low-quality, copy-pasted CVs. Filtering eats senior engineering time before any real evaluation begins.
25–50% generated
A growing share of applicants use generative AI to fabricate experience. Without dedicated screening, fraud reaches your interview loop.
15–30% of salary
Traditional agencies charge a percentage of comp and still hand you raw CVs. Your team does the actual evaluation work twice.
52+ days to fill
The average tech role takes nearly two months to close, burning engineering capacity and delaying the product roadmap.
What you get
Define the role, understand the candidates, and build a qualified shortlist without juggling spreadsheets, CV piles, screening calls, and disconnected tools.
Hiring support, built in
Ask questions about your role, candidates, or shortlist and get clear answers in seconds. Mia helps your team see who fits, what to ask next, and where to focus.

Hiring intelligence agent
Clarify skills, level, team context, must-haves vs. nice-to-haves and compensation before sourcing begins.
Our system scans CVs, code repositories and online presence to flag fake credentials and AI-generated content.
Each candidate arrives with a competency profile detailing experience depth, skill coverage and growth potential.
Candidates are mapped against your role's exact requirements so you spend time deciding, not filtering.
Generate bespoke interview forms tailored to the role and each candidate so conversations surface real signals.
Built-in messaging keeps feedback flowing between you, the candidate and our team. No more ghosting.
