Hume will help ensure that the interviewer and hiring team are focused on you, not on taking notes. It also ensures that interviews are structured and well thought out, giving you the best opportunity to showcase your relevant experience and qualifications.

While we believe technology, and especially AI/ML, have an important role to play in tools that are built to help organizations build the best possible teams - the tools should be built for guiding and assisting humans in their decision making, rather than making judgements themselves. That is one of the reasons for our name, Hume - the experience and the tools should be people centric and human.

Hume is built to help people make better, less biased hiring decisions. As such Hume as a platform makes no judgements on whether you are the right candidate but instead help interviewers recall highlights from the interview.
