Hikari Ai
Hikari is an AI-powered talent intelligence platform that ranks CVs against job briefs in about 20 seconds, delivering evidence-backed scores through a Chrome side panel that sits over a recruiter's existing ATS. It tracks each client's historical decisions—every yes, no, and reason—so recruiters can see who the client has progressed, the lowest score they've accepted, and why they typically pass. The platform never auto-actions anything; it informs the recruiter and hands the decision back, flagging affected scores when a brief changes.

Problem
Recruiters face the challenge of quickly and accurately ranking large volumes of CVs against specific job briefs, while also needing to understand each client's unique hiring preferences and past behavior. Generic AI tools provide scores without transparent reasoning, forcing recruiters to double-check outputs and leaving them without insight into what a particular client has historically accepted or rejected.
Solution
Hikari is an AI-powered talent intelligence platform that ranks CVs against a job brief in about 20 seconds, delivering a ranked list with evidence behind every score. It operates as a Chrome side panel that sits over the recruiter's existing ATS, allowing them to read the job, drop CVs, review the top 10, and send candidate reports without leaving their workflow. The platform tracks each client's actual decisions—every yes, no, and reason given—so recruiters can see who the client has progressed, the lowest score they've accepted, the most they've paid, and why they typically pass. Hikari never sends, rejects, or actions anything automatically; it informs the recruiter and hands the decision back, flagging affected scores when a brief changes rather than silently re-running them.
Target Audience
Primary users are recruitment professionals and staffing agencies who work with multiple clients and need to make faster, evidence-based candidate selections while maintaining full control over the hiring process.
