The platform that tells you if you're valid for a job (and it's not based just on your resume)

Javier Cañizares learned in the hardest possible way that work experience doesn’t have to be the most important thing when hiring a person. When he selected staff for a chain of beauty clinics he had set up, he focused on the experience they had more than on the set of their skills and things didn’t go entirely well. “Unfortunately, I had to fire more people than I would have liked,” he recalls.

“And I realized that it is one of the great evils of today: pigeonholing people by their past experience and not so much by what they can contribute.” Hirint, a technological platform for evaluating professional competencies based on behavioral sciences, was born in 2019 to try to prevent others from making the same mistake.
