Hiring runs on a number
nobody can explain.

Every enterprise hire passes through an automated score — and that score is now being litigated, regulated, and audited. Intelletto reads every résumé, scores it against the real role, and proves the number with evidence, published citations, and a cryptographically signed audit packet a regulator can re-run independently. Sidecar APIs into the ATS the enterprise already owns.

100 résumés on one busy requisition. 70 are never read.
1 square = 1 résumé ~30 triaged by the team ~70 silent rejection — the clock ran out
The market · industrial hiring volume
Global BPO · 2025$327B
Global BPO · 2030$525B
≈10% CAGR · 25M+ professionals worldwide · 1.7M in the Philippines — the beachhead, where screening cost is a P&L line and volume is measured in 10,000s of applications per operator per month.
The exclusion engine · incumbent scoring measures resemblance, not capability

88% of employers admit qualified, high-skilled candidates are auto-screened out for not matching exact criteria — 27M "hidden workers" in the US alone. The strongest predictors of performance can't be read off a PDF; the category grades D to C+ on effectiveness.

The forcing function · vendor liability is settled law
JUL 2024
Mobley v. Workday — dismissal denied; the vendor can be liable, not just the employer.
DEC 2025
Nationwide collective certified — 10,000+ employer-clients exposed; 1.1B applications in scope.
MAR 2026
Applicant protection upheld; discovery reaches back to 2020. NYC LL144, EU AI Act (high-risk) & EEOC converge.
Why our score is different · nine evidence-bound buckets, re-weighted by seniority — a graduate and a COO are never scored on the same rubric
Junior / Mid
"can they do the work?"
Senior / Lead
"can they scale it?"
Director / VP
"can they own the function?"
C-Level
"can they stand behind it?"
bucket weight, % of score hard skills leadership domain six further buckets · every weight cites published selection science (O*NET · Schmidt & Hunter · CEFR · EEOC)

Every sealed scorecard ships a 14-page audit report and signed bundle. An auditor runs our open-source verifier on their own machine, recomputes the hash chain, and re-runs the scoring against the frozen snapshot — and gets the same number. Incumbents log decisions; none in the top-20 landscape can independently prove one.

The economics
97%
96–97% gross margin on per-résumé enterprise pricing. Sidecar APIs into SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle, Greenhouse, Lever — zero rip-and-replace, near-zero change management.

Capital efficiency · the same platform, two production functions
Conventional build · 4–5 engineers~2 yrs · $640K–1.4M
Intelletto · AI-native build9 months · 1 founder + AI
A production system, not a prototype: 12-stage pipeline · 5 fail-closed quality gates · multi-tenant RBAC · full talent CRM & interview ops · Terraform-managed GCP. The build velocity is the operating model — and it compounds.

$3.0MSeries A · 2026

Funds a 24-month roadmap: enterprise rollout on authoritative rubric scoring, empirical calibration against live hiring outcomes, and extension of the compliance moat across US, EU and APAC regimes — turning the category's universal weakness into the one claim only Intelletto proves.
