Problem
Job seekers and recruiters face overwhelming volumes of text‑based applications and AI‑generated CVs, which make it difficult to assess genuine skills and personality. This leads to missed opportunities for both talent and employers and slows the hiring process.
Solution
Riser provides a video‑based hiring platform where candidates create a 60‑second pitch that showcases their communication style, personality, and key achievements. An AI companion, Skylar, helps users craft and refine their pitch, while also matching them to relevant roles. Recruiters can view these video profiles, ask custom screening questions, and receive AI‑generated fit analyses, enabling faster, more human‑focused screening without the flood of traditional applications.
Target Audience
Primary users are job seekers looking to differentiate themselves beyond a traditional résumé, and hiring teams at companies seeking efficient, human‑centric ways to identify and engage top talent.
