The ATS wewanted as recruiters.
Most recruitment tools were built to help companies process more CVs. We built heyree with a different goal: to stop companies losing the right people.
We built the tool we were missing in recruiting.

For years we ran recruitment at companies like FTMO, CloudTalk and Groupon, and every day we battled with tools that made working with people harder. Endless spreadsheets, lost emails and candidates who got forgotten.
We wanted a tool that handles the routine and gives recruiters time back for conversations with people. That's how heyree came to be.
We're building it from Prague, Brno and Bratislava, starting with the Czech and Slovak markets. But we think globally and believe heyree can stand up to the best in the world. One of the founders reads every message from recruiters.
