New: ChatHire Intelligence API — Add AI resume scoring to any ATS. 100 free calls/month.
Our Story

Built by people who've lived the hiring problem

ChatHire was born from three decades of recruiting and HR frustration — too much admin, too little intelligence, and too many great candidates slipping through the cracks.

Make intelligent hiring accessible to every team

Enterprise ATS systems cost thousands per month and take months to implement. Most SMBs and staffing firms are still screening resumes manually, losing hours every day on work AI can do in seconds.

We built ChatHire to change that — bringing AI resume scoring, bias redaction, and candidate intelligence to teams of any size, starting at $99/month with a free trial and no credit card required.

Why we built ChatHire

After decades working in staffing, enterprise HR, and SAP consulting, our team saw the same problem play out at every company we worked with: recruiters spending 80% of their time on screening and scheduling, and only 20% on the human conversations that actually matter.

The tools existed to fix this — AI had been transforming other industries for years. But in recruiting, the technology was either locked inside $50,000/year enterprise contracts or cobbled together from disconnected point solutions that never quite worked together.

ChatHire started as a simple question: what if a small staffing firm or in-house HR team could get the same AI intelligence as a Fortune 500 company — at a price that made sense? What if candidates could practice interviews, check their resume score, and find jobs without creating yet another account on yet another job board?

We built that. A single platform for employers, job seekers, and developers — with AI at the core of every feature, and a free tier that never asks candidates for a credit card.

The Problem We Solve

Hiring is broken. We're fixing it.

Most teams still screen resumes manually, schedule interviews by email, and lose top candidates to slow processes. ChatHire replaces that friction with AI that works around the clock.

😤

Before ChatHire

Recruiters spending hours reading resumes that don't match. Unconscious bias eliminating qualified candidates. Top applicants lost to slow response times. No insight into why hires succeed or fail. Interview prep scattered across YouTube and Reddit.

With ChatHire

AI scores every resume 0–100 in seconds. Bias delta score surfaces overlooked talent. Candidates apply with confidence after AI mock interviews. Recruiters focus on conversations, not paperwork. One platform, three audiences, zero complexity.

Our values

The principles that guide every product decision we make.

🎯

Accuracy over speed

A wrong hire costs 3x the annual salary. We obsess over score accuracy, not just throughput. Our AI is trained to be honest about fit, not just fast.

⚖️

Fairness by design

Our bias delta score is the only feature of its kind in any ATS. We built it because we believe the best candidates should win — not the ones with the most familiar-sounding names.

🌍

Truly global

English is not the only language of talent. ChatHire supports Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Spanish — serving hiring markets in the US, India, and UK with equal depth.

💸

Free for job seekers, always

Candidates should never pay to find work or practice for interviews. Every job seeker feature in ChatHire — interview practice, resume scoring, job search — is free forever.

🔌

Open by default

Not everyone can switch their ATS. That's why we built a public API — so any team can add ChatHire intelligence to the system they already use, without migration headaches.

🏫

Inclusion for everyone

Our Special Ed Career Prep tool is free for all students and schools — because career readiness shouldn't depend on which classroom a student happens to be in.

Built by people who've hired — and been hired

ChatHire is built by staffing and HR experts with three decades of deep recruiting and HR experience, solving the day-to-day problems they lived firsthand. We know what it feels like to screen 200 resumes on a Friday afternoon, and we know what it feels like to get rejected from a job you were perfect for because no one reviewed your application carefully enough.

🧠
