The problem

Hiring is an Infrastructure Failure

85 %+ of hiring decisions still begin with CV screening. CVs collapse complex capability into unverified text, reward presentation over performance, and block fair, automated decision‑making.

average recruiter scan time

Applications collapse capability into unverifiable text. Recruiters scan, guess, and hope. Signal degrades at every stage of the pipeline.

The solution

Infrastructure, Not Just Tools

Two tightly coupled components form a new hiring operating system. HSP1 carries the evidence. HSP2 orchestrates everything around it.

01The payload

HSP1

A candidate-owned, evidence-backed, portable application object. A structured, verifiable record that integrates via “Apply with HSP1.”

Skills mapped to a defined ontology
Evidence objects with verification status
Confidence and recency indicators
Immutable version history
Candidate-controlled consent
02The control plane

HSP2

The intelligence and orchestration layer. It coordinates assessment providers, recommends, ingests, normalises, and delivers employer-ready records.

Assessment and learning marketplace
Third-party ingestion and normalisation
Trust and weighting models
Role-to-skill alignment
ATS-native delivery APIs

How it works

From Signal to Decision

Candidates complete assessments, simulations, and certifications from best-in-class providers. HSP2 recommends the most relevant based on role and market demand.

Positioning

We Don’t Compete. We Upgrade.

Hiofu sits between job boards, assessment platforms, and ATS systems. We don’t replace the ecosystem. We orchestrate it.

Ecosystem layers

No evidence layer

Siloed, not portable

Principles

What We Believe

Evidence over assertion

Every skill must be inspectable. Self-reporting is a starting point, not a conclusion.

Candidate ownership

The person owns their record. No implicit sharing. No discovery without consent.

Workflow native

Outputs fit employer systems. We don't ask hiring teams to change process.

Trust by design

Weighting, provenance, and auditability are architecture decisions, not afterthoughts.
