Headstart 做什么

Headstart (YC S17) uses Machine Learning technology to help employers identify the best-suited talent in the shortest period of time. We provide leading organisations with a solution designed to help them transition away from experience/qualification based screening and towards a more inclusive and effective process which considers personality, behaviours, strengths and motivations. In doing so, Headstart helps companies hire people truly aligned to their values, culture and exact job requirements in a seamless, engaging way. The Headstart process is simple and effective: companies save time and money by finding candidates who meet their exact job requirements at an earlier stage, and job seekers connect directly with businesses through an engaging, reusable 15 minute application form. We ensure a transparent process and initiate productive dialogue, making candidates feel valued and helping companies hire the right people.

Machine learning for hiring better talent faster

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an ML-driven hiring platform that helps companies screen candidates beyond resumes. Rather than focusing on experience and qualifications alone, Headstart evaluates personality traits, behaviors, and motivations to find candidates aligned with company values and specific roles. Candidates fill out a 15-minute reusable assessment that drives a more inclusive and effective hiring workflow, saving companies time by surfacing better matches early.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in London, England, and plan to base Headstart there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

London has a strong recruiting and tech community, which fits our customer base of employers looking for talent solutions. It's also where we started building Headstart and have local access to early users and the team.
