Mosaic & Me is a skills-first hiring platform that replaces traditional CVs with dynamic, structured capability profiles to connect generalists and career changers with roles that truly fit their abilities. Using semantic AI matching, the platform evaluates candidates on demonstrated skills and evidence rather than job titles or keywords, while giving employers tools to calibrate requirements in real time. The platform prioritizes candidate privacy by keeping preferences hidden unless explicitly shared, and it supports passive matching where suitable roles find candidates.

Problem
Traditional hiring relies on CVs and keyword-matching ATS systems that filter on job titles, degrees, and credentials rather than actual capability. This systematically undervalues generalists, career changers, and non-traditional candidates, while producing poor predictions of on-the-job performance and narrowing the talent pool unnecessarily.
Solution
Mosaic & Me is a two-sided, skills-first hiring platform where candidates build a structured capability profile—their mosaic—capturing skills, projects, and evidence across seven key areas. The platform uses semantic AI matching with OpenAI embeddings and pgvector cosine similarity to align candidates with roles based on demonstrated capability rather than exact keywords. Candidates set preferences around salary, location, and deal-breakers, which sharpen matches but remain private unless the candidate chooses to reveal them. Employers receive ranked shortlists of genuinely aligned candidates and can use a Calibration Sandbox to adjust requirement weights in real time and see the impact on the matched pool instantly.
Target Audience
Primary users are generalists, career changers, and non-traditional candidates seeking roles that match their full skill set, as well as employers and recruiting teams looking to implement skills-first hiring practices and reduce time-to-hire.
