MeritFinder, a California-based HR tech startup, officially launches its fully AI-powered hiring platform—introducing a new standard in how modern companies find and evaluate talent in an increasingly competitive job market.

At a time when employers struggle with hiring delays, skill mismatches, and growing demands for diversity and inclusion, MeritFinder offers a bold alternative. Built entirely around artificial intelligence, the platform automates the full hiring process—from job creation and skill assessments to interview analysis and candidate ranking—with fairness and efficiency at its core.

"AI alone won't fix hiring—but fairness-first automation might," said Martin Sedighi, Founder and CEO. "We built MeritFinder to give every applicant an equal opportunity—measured by skill, not résumé or referrals."

What Makes MeritFinder Unique

• End-to-End Automation – AI generates job descriptions, assessments, and structured interviews with no manual setup.
• Bias-Aware Scoring – Applicants are evaluated blindly and consistently.
• Instant Feedback – Employers receive side-by-side comparisons; applicants get transparent, real-time results.
• Custom Role Matching – Assessments adapt to specific job requirements.
• Built-In Integrity – Live proctoring, anomaly detection, and optional KYC keep assessments secure.
• Plug & Play Launch – Employers can start hiring immediately with job links. ATS integrations (LinkedIn, Greenhouse) are underway.
• AI-First Architecture – Unlike legacy systems retrofitting automation, MeritFinder was built AI-first from the ground up. Every step is designed to be intelligent, consistent, and autonomous.

Designed for Tech Hiring—and Beyond

Originally built for developer roles, MeritFinder's AI framework adapts seamlessly to a wide range of functions—product, marketing, customer success, and more. It suits fast-scaling startups as well as larger enterprises looking to structure and de-bias their recruitment workflows.

Fairness for Applicants, Not Just Employers

Every candidate goes through the same structured process. AI evaluates skills, not formatting or experience gaps—leveling the playing field for those without elite credentials. Real-time results and clear feedback also ensure transparency and respect for applicants' time and effort.

Not Just Another Tool—A New Category

Unlike legacy ATS systems or test platforms with bolt-on AI, MeritFinder was designed from day one to be autonomous. It replaces manual workflows with structured, intelligent evaluation—creating a new category: AI-native hiring infrastructure.

Early Adoption and Traction

MeritFinder has already been adopted by three early-stage companies across Europe and North America. While client names remain confidential, use cases range from developer recruiting to multi-role assessment pipelines.
