This New AI Hiring App Claims To Be Better Than LinkedIn Because Of Blockchain

If you're a company, imagine getting a pool of candidates perfectly tailored to your specific job requirements.

And if you're a job seeker, imagine sipping a warm cup of coffee while applying for jobs—swiping left or right on them. (Yes, pretty much like a dating app).

“We are making both these scenarios come true for everyone with our unique Artificial Intelligence and secure blockchain model,” says Monkify.ai’s co-founder Gregor Reitinger in an exclusive interview with Startup Pedia.

Founded in 2023, RRHAi Tech is a Hyderabad-based startup that is building Monkify.ai. It is a new-age recruitment platform that employs blockchain and AI to make hiring processes faster, safer, and more efficient for everyone.

Monkify.ai was founded by three Austrian entrepreneurs—Gregor Reitinger, Patrick Ranner, and Leon Hartl. Out of them, Gregor and Patrick have permanently shifted to India.

“Great talent and a very welcoming working environment for new businesses—that is India. Coming here was the right step,” Gregor had earlier told Startup Pedia.

After years of working towards building a hiring app that solves the problems associated with traditional players, building a team in India, and absorbing the market, the young startup founders have finally launched Monkify.ai.

MONKIFY.AI: UNBREAKABLE SECURITY WITH BLOCKCHAIN

Monkify.ai is a new-age hiring application that seeks to revolutionize the Indian hiring market, and ultimately the global one. 

“The Indian talent market is rapidly growing. People are less and less keen on waiting for days to get a simple response from the job they applied for. Companies and organizations also want to add speed to their hiring processes. That's exactly where Monkify.ai comes in,” says Hyderabad startup founder Patrick Ranner.

2. Utilizing blockchain technology to verify and protect data, Monkify.ai eliminates fake profiles from the platform. This boosts trust between recruiters and job seekers. It also offers transparent and verifiable credential tracking. Additionally, it eliminates risks of fraud and breaches.

3. The hiring platform has special algorithms that ensure high-quality candidates reach the recruiters. This manifests in a 46% increase in qualified applicants.

4. Monkify.ai provides instant matches to companies by using advanced algorithms. It solves the issues of tedious screening processes and recruitment complexities attached to large candidate pools. Through instant matches, the hiring platform matches candidates to jobs in real time, offers an advanced skill and cultural fit assessment, and sends out instant notifications and recommendations.

5. Data security is a priority for Monkify.ai. With blockchain and encryption, it protects companies’ and candidates’ data ensuring peace of mind.
