Enabling the world to find the best talent
We bring simplicity to complex hiring processes. Our AI recruitment assistant Joel helps companies source, screen, and connect with top candidates - saving time while preserving human connection.
Our story
Outhire was born from a simple frustration: hiring technology was making things harder, not easier. Recruiters were buried in repetitive admin while great candidates slipped through the cracks - or worse, never heard back at all.
Our founding team had already tackled complex problems in identity and workplace technology - including building Australia's first digital driver's licence at Future Identity and leading engineering at Sine before its acquisition by Honeywell. We knew hiring deserved the same treatment: modern technology that simplifies rather than complicates.
The answer was Joel, an AI recruitment assistant that automates candidate sourcing, phone screening, and video applications - giving teams the capacity to engage with every single applicant.
We believe every candidate deserves a response. Ghosting isn't just bad practice - it's a broken promise. With AI handling the repetitive work, teams finally have the bandwidth to treat every person in their pipeline with respect, no matter how many applications come in.
Today, Outhire empowers companies around the world to screen smarter, hire faster, and build the kind of candidate experience that earns trust and loyalty.
Our values
These principles guide everything we build and every decision we make.
Efficiency
We automate the repetitive parts of recruitment so teams can focus on what matters - connecting with the right people.
Fairness
Every candidate deserves an equal opportunity. Our AI ensures consistent, unbiased screening for all applicants.
Innovation
We're constantly pushing boundaries, reimagining how AI can enhance human decision-making in recruitment.
Transparency

"Our mission is to give talent teams the capacity to interview everyone. By using AI to remove human bias and automate repetitive tasks, we empower teams to make better hiring decisions based on merit, not first impressions."
