Compounding
Every automation makes the next one better. A cleaner database gives sharper matches; sharper matches give better outreach; better outreach fills the database with people who answer. Small gains, stacked for years, are the whole product.
About HireData
Recruiters do the conversation. Machines do everything else.
Every agency sits on an ATS full of people it never calls again. We build the agents that put that data to work, inside the ATS you already use. A Dutch company, built by builders.
Our mission
Move recruitment from machine work to superpower work.
Recruiters are hired for judgement and relationships. Most of their week goes to chasing, updating and re-typing. We want that time back: one billion recruitment tasks a year, done by agents, by 2030.
12 million+tasks automated so far
1 billiontasks a year, our goal for 2030
“Your ATS holds the data. Recruiters hold the conversation. HireData runs everything in between.”
How we work
Four things we will not trade.
Not slogans on a wall. These decide what we build, what we say and what we say no to.
Improve every day
Nothing here is finished, and that is the point. We ship small and often, show the team what changed every Friday, and take on the biggest bottleneck every month. Our mantra is on the wall and in the product: Improve Every Day.
Honesty
Clear words, no jargon, no numbers we cannot show. Everything an agent does is logged on the record, so you can always see who did what. Export anything, leave any day. We would rather earn you every month than lock you in.
Product first
Everyone here builds, and every builder talks to customers. Money goes to the product before it goes to anything else, and the team grows only when the product has earned it. The product sells; we help.
Why inside the ATS
Not another tool next to your ATS.
Recruitment software has had the same problem for twenty years: the data sits in the ATS, the work happens everywhere else. We took the other road. HireData lives inside your ATS, so the agents read and write the records you already have. No second database, no copy-paste, no new screen to learn.
