Here’s Our Story
HiringBranch makes award-winning technology to help you build your forever team. From launching as a learning solution to becoming a full AI assessment suite today, we have consistently delivered predictive technology that talent teams rely on to improve hiring outcomes.
This is how it all began:
HiringBranch Then and Now
HiringBranch started in 2022. Before that, and since 2014, it was a company called LearningBranch dedicated to training people with language and soft skills to succeed. More than a decade of training data led to the first proprietary Soft Skills AI being developed with the ability to measure soft skills with up to 99% accuracy.
Building the First Soft Skills AI
With as many as 84% of employers using skills-based hiring, HiringBranch is proud to have built the world's first Soft Skills AI. Find out exactly what this new technology is, and why it's such a powerful tool for global organizations.
This is what we believe in:
HiringBranch is built on team culture that thrives on our values. We walk the walk, intentionally living our beliefs, and actively demonstrating our understanding of them at work regularly. Here’s the pillars of our culture:
There’s always a better way; we just need to invent it. We ask questions, find solutions, share useful ideas, and build anew where we can.
Transparency removes fear, and we’re fearless. It fosters respectful communication. It leads to trus,t and trust is the foundation of great teamwork.
We understand that opportunities are not created equal, but should be. We know that success is genderless and raceless. We’ve proven it in our product, and we live by it.
We own mistakes, break stuff, ask for help, and grow because of it. We’re not robots, even if we build them.
We show up to work with integrity, choose to be curious over defensive, and say only things about fellow employees that we would say directly to one another.
We wake up every day thinking about our customers. We put ourselves in their shoes so that we can build products that help them be their best selves.
