Background

Hire Direction is an HR management company with a unique approach to hiring. Their Job Fit Calculator scores candidates using proprietary algorithms, helping HR teams match the right people to the right roles through targeted recruiting campaigns.

Challenge

Hire Direction had developed a powerful data-driven methodology to help recruiters identify top candidates for specific roles. However, without a tangible product, they struggled to monetize their approach or gain traction in the market. They recognized the need for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to deliver their service but faced challenges finding a partner who could understand their vision and build a high-quality solution within their budget.

Solution

Covalience provided a dedicated team of PHP engineers and consultants to transform Hire Direction’s concept into a focused and functional MVP. The team worked closely with Hire Direction to ensure the solution aligned with their vision, delivered real value, and stayed within budget.
