OUR STORY
About Skima AI
A story of talent and the future of hiring.
Hi There.
If you're reading this, you probably spend your days building the most important part of any company: its team. You likely have a dozen tabs open—your ATS, LinkedIn, a spreadsheet, your email—all in service of one goal: finding the right people.
The evolution of recruiting
The pinnacle of recruiting tech was the digital job board. Then came the Applicant Tracking System, a powerful tool for organization and compliance, but fundamentally a digital filing cabinet.
AI enters the scene
Then something big happened. AI promised to revolutionize hiring.
The first wave failed
The first wave of AI simply put a faster engine on an old car. These tools still operated on the same flawed premise: matching keywords on a resume to a job description. The result? Recruiters overwhelmed by AI-inflated resumes, hiring managers asked to trust black-box scores, and massive costs from missed stars and bad hires.
We lived it
While scaling our last company to a $100M+ valuation, we experienced this bottleneck firsthand. We were flying blind in our most critical decisions.
The breakthrough
The true signal for a great hire wasn't in a job description; it was the ground truth buried in our own ATS—the data from every past hire, interview, and rejection.
That's where Skima AI comes in
We build a private, bespoke AI model for your company, fine-tuned on your historical hiring decisions. Instead of matching resumes, we predict success by learning from your best hires.
Our Core Beliefs
Principles that guide everything we build
Evidence, Not Opacity
Every prediction is explainable with plain-English reasons and evidence. If we can't cite it, we don't say it.
Intelligence Where You Work
ATS-native integration means your team works in familiar tools with no new logins or workflows to learn.
Your Data is Your Moat
Your hiring history trains your private model only. Never co-mingled, always yours.
Our Vision
Our journey starts by fixing top-of-funnel screening, but our vision is much bigger.
We believe the war for talent will be won by companies that can predict success.
