Hirona turns resume + interview into an explainable scorecard in 2 hours, with every decision replayable for seven years. We started the company because the AI-hiring vendors we talked to had beautiful demos and zero answers when the DPO walked in the room.
Voice interviews at scale only work if every decision can be replayed seven years later against the exact model version. Adding compliance after product-market fit is how AI vendors get pulled off the market by regulators; building it in means we can sell into regulated industries from day one.
EU candidates stay in EU data centres, Singapore candidates stay in Singapore. The cross-region transfer only fires with explicit consent and Standard Contractual Clauses. This constrains the architecture — schema-per-tenant Postgres, GCS buckets pinned to region, KMS keys per region — but it is non-negotiable.
GDPR Art. 22 and the EU AI Act both require it; we make it a one-click button rather than a support ticket. Every rejected outcome ships with a "Request human review" path, and a qualified reviewer re-scores the interview without the AI output biasing them.
We are a small team. That means fewer sales engineers to talk to, but also that the person who writes the feature is the person who answers the support email. We optimise for deep partnerships with fewer regulated buyers over breadth.
One founder currently wearing product + engineering hats. Deep background in distributed systems, ML infra, and enterprise compliance tooling. Writes most of the code, answers most of the support email.
Part-time employment-law counsel reviewing AUP + DPA; independent bias-audit firm retained for the annual NYC Local Law 144 report; DPO function outsourced until the team grows past 10.
We are hiring. If you are a compliance-minded engineer or a founding GTM hire and the pitch resonates, email the founder directly below — a dedicated careers page will go up once the first two open roles are defined.
