About Us

Built by recruiters who were tired of guessing

Merit2Hire is a Miami-based company founded by industry veterans who've lived on both sides of the hiring table. We combine over 25 years of recruiting expertise with more than 30 years of enterprise software experience to fix what's broken in hiring.

Our Mission

Make hiring decisions based on what candidates know — not what AI wrote for them

Every hiring decision should be based on real, demonstrated capability. Not keyword matching. Not resume polish. Not phone screen charisma.

Merit2Hire exists to give every candidate a fair, structured evaluation — and give every recruiter the confidence that their shortlist represents real talent.

Our Team

Enterprise DNA meets recruiting instinct

Our founders bring over 25 years of hands-on recruiting experience combined with more than 30 years building enterprise software at companies like SAP, Oracle, SuccessFactors, and Quest. That rare combination means Merit2Hire was designed by people who understand both the recruiter's daily reality and what it takes to build scalable, enterprise-grade platforms.

We're headquartered in Miami, FL and partner with Pressatto-AI LLC for product development — a team specialized in AI-driven SaaS applications that shares our obsession with quality, security, and speed.

Our Ethos

Humans first. In that order.

AI exists to sharpen human judgment, never to replace it. When interests conflict, we decide in this order.

  1. 1

    The people our AI evaluates

    Fair, explainable, contestable decisions — for candidates, sales reps, and anyone our software scores.

  2. 2

    Our customers

    Signal they can trust and defend.

  3. 3

    Our people

    Employees and partners who build with us.

  4. 4

    Our vendors

    Treated as we ask to be treated.

  5. 5

    Our shareholders

    Rewarded by doing the above well — never instead of it.

How We Build

Principles we hold ourselves to

No black-box decisions about people

Every output carries its reasoning. If we can't explain it, we don't ship it.

A human owns every consequential decision

Our AI surfaces signal earlier; people decide. Human-in-the-loop is an architectural constraint, not a feature.

Everything auditable

Any decision our software touches can be reconstructed, traced, and defended — to a customer, a candidate, or a regulator.

See signal earlier — and be able to prove why.
