What changes when it is recruitment & hr tech

Custom is right when the off-the-shelf product would need so many workarounds that you are effectively building software anyway, just in spreadsheets and email, where nobody can maintain it.

In recruitment & hr tech, any screening automation must be tested for bias and be explainable to a rejected candidate. That single fact reshapes how custom software development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is job description drafting, usually integrated against HRMS. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Is AI screening legal?

In India, with care; under the EU AI Act hiring is classified high-risk with specific obligations. Either way, bias testing, explainability and human review of rejections are the baseline we build to.

How do you prevent bias?

Testing outcomes across demographic groups, excluding proxy features, and keeping a human decision on every rejection. We report the test results rather than asserting fairness.

Custom or off-the-shelf?

Off-the-shelf whenever it fits. It is cheaper to buy and someone else maintains it. Custom earns its cost when your process is genuinely a differentiator, or when configuring a product would cost more than building the thing.

How much does custom software cost?

Driven by user roles, integration count and data complexity rather than by feature list length. We scope against a process map, which is why our estimates hold better than a number given on a first call.

Who owns the software?

You do, source, IP and infrastructure, transferred on completion. It runs in your accounts and keeps running without us.
