Who is Hyred? The Team Behind Faster Job Search Outcomes

Hyred is an AI-first career platform built for job seekers who need clear next steps, not generic advice. We started from one recurring problem: many strong candidates are filtered out early because their CV, positioning, and interview story are not aligned to the signals that recruiters and hiring systems actually look for.

According to a 2018 eye-tracking study by Ladders, recruiters spend an average of just 7.4 seconds on an initial CV scan. In that narrow window, unclear formatting, vague language, and weak positioning can eliminate even highly qualified candidates. Hyred exists to close that gap.

What we build

Hyred combines three core workflows into one integrated journey:

1. AI-powered CV diagnostics

Our CV review engine identifies the highest-impact fixes in your resume — from missing quantified outcomes to poor keyword alignment with target roles. Rather than offering a generic score, we pinpoint exactly what to change and why, based on how recruiters and ATS systems evaluate candidates.

Research from Jobscan shows that over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS to filter applications. If your CV does not pass these automated checks, a human may never see it. Our diagnostics are designed to catch these issues before you apply.

2. Career OS for structured execution

Job searching without a system leads to burnout. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Vocational Behavior found that structured job-search strategies — including goal-setting, planning, and self-regulation — are significantly correlated with faster re-employment and higher job satisfaction.

Career OS provides that structure. It helps you organize weekly actions: tailoring CVs, tracking applications, scheduling networking outreach, and preparing for interviews — all in one workflow.

3. AI mock interviews

Behavioral interviews remain the most common format for assessing candidates, yet most job seekers never practice out loud before the real thing. Our AI-powered mock interview tool lets you rehearse common questions with structured feedback, helping you build confidence and refine your delivery.

According to research from Harvard Business Review, candidates who prepare structured stories using frameworks like STAR perform measurably better in interviews. Hyred's mock interview system coaches you to apply these frameworks naturally.

Why this matters now

The modern hiring landscape is noisier and faster than ever:

• ATS adoption is near-universal. According to Jobscan, 98.8% of Fortune 500 companies use ATS software, and adoption is growing rapidly among mid-market and startup employers.
• Recruiter attention is extremely limited. The Ladders eye-tracking study confirmed that initial resume reviews last under 10 seconds on average.
• Competition is global. LinkedIn's 2024 Workforce Report notes that remote-friendly roles receive 2.5x more applications than on-site positions, making differentiation harder than ever.

Many candidates get rejected before their real strengths are seen — not because they lack skills, but because their documents do not communicate those skills effectively. We designed Hyred to reduce that gap by turning unclear documents into evidence-driven narratives.

Our operating principle

We keep our product practical and opinionated. Everything we build follows three steps:

1. Diagnose what is weak — Use AI analysis to identify the specific gaps in your CV, positioning, or interview readiness that are most likely causing rejection.
2. Prioritize fixes by impact — Not all changes matter equally. We rank recommendations by their likely effect on recruiter decisions and ATS pass rates.
3. Help users execute with consistency — Knowing what to fix is only half the battle. Our Career OS and mock interview tools help you implement changes and sustain momentum week over week.

This is not about perfection. It is about compounding small improvements into a meaningful shift in how your candidacy is perceived.

Who Hyred is for

Hyred is designed for:

• Fresh graduates entering a competitive job market for the first time and unsure how to position limited experience effectively.
• Career switchers who need to reframe their background for a new industry or function.
• Experienced professionals whose CVs have gone stale and no longer reflect their current impact.
• Anyone stuck in a job search who is applying consistently but not hearing back.

If your current approach is not generating interviews, the problem is often not your qualifications — it is how they are presented. Hyred helps you fix the presentation layer so the right people can see your real potential.
