Problem
Traditional hiring processes rely on job boards that generate high volumes of unqualified applications or recruitment agencies that charge 15–30% of a role's salary, making hiring slow, expensive, and administratively burdensome. Manual CV screening consumes significant internal time and often results in missed candidates or biased shortlisting decisions.
Solution
Via provides an automated recruitment platform that replaces job boards and agencies by sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates end-to-end. Employers upload a role and receive five interview-ready candidates within 24 hours, with the first shortlist offered free to demonstrate quality. The platform advertises roles across major job boards, uses AI sourcing from its internal database of over 100,000 candidates, and applies human recruitment expertise to review each candidate against specific criteria rather than relying on keyword matching alone. Candidates remain invisible to employers until they explicitly accept a match, and the platform includes built-in interview scheduling and preparation tools to streamline the hiring workflow.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small to mid-sized companies hiring business support functions including finance, sales, HR, operations, marketing, IT, customer success, and administration, as well as fast-growing organizations with high hiring volumes and stretched talent acquisition teams.
