ABOUT

Hiring should show its work. We are building the system that does.

Pyro is an AI-native applicant tracking system for staffing agencies and startups. It writes down what good looks like for a role once, then holds every stage of hiring to that standard and explains each decision.

WHY PYRO

It started with 50,000 CVs nobody could search.

A friend’s recruitment agency had 50,000 CVs on a hard drive in the corner of the office. A keyword search found only the people who happened to use the right words, so for every new role they paid to find people they had already met.

Looking closer, the search was not the real problem. What “good” looks like for a role is never written down, so the posting, the search, the screen and the interview each guess, and none of them can show its work.

Pyro writes that standard down once and holds every stage to it, from the job post to ARIA’s AI interview and the human round, so every decision comes with its reasons.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Four things we will not trade away.

01Write the standard down

A role is judged against criteria agreed before the first CV arrives, not against whoever reads it that day.

02Every decision shows its work

A score without its reasons is a guess. Pyro keeps the evidence behind every shortlist, screen and interview.

03People decide

AI does the reading, the searching and the first interview. A person makes the hiring call, with the record in front of them.

04Candidates are owed the same

Every candidate for a role meets the same standard and the same questions, and can see where they stand.
