Pragmata inc.

Pragmata is a talent intelligence platform that helps companies scale the hiring of knowledge workers by making the screening process more cost-effective, efficient, and fair. Currently, it costs around $50 to screen a candidate at the top of the hiring funnel, limiting the number of applicants companies can evaluate for each role. As a result, many qualified candidates are ghosted, and companies miss out on top talent. Pragmata reduces the cost of screening to just $5, allowing hiring teams to assess ten times more applicants with their existing resources. This ensures consistent evaluation criteria and provides detailed analytics on every candidate, which can be used to support hiring decisions or calibrate expectations with hiring teams. The platform has two main components: an interactive AI interview and an assessment grader. The AI interview asks candidates familiar questions about their past work experience, with responses given through voice. The assessment grader then analyzes the responses and calculates a Position Relevance Score (PRS), which measures how closely a candidate’s experience aligns with the role they’re applying for. PRS can be calculated for multiple roles without the need to re-interview the candidate.
