Why we built this.

I spent months unemployed — not a junior finding their footing, but a seasoned product leader with a decade of experience, suddenly invisible in a job market that had changed overnight.

The applications went out among hundreds — within hours of every posting. Recruiters weren't ignoring candidates; they were drowning in them. Every application looked the same: AI-polished, keyword-optimised, impossible to tell who'd actually read the job description and who'd fed it to ChatGPT.

Sitting on both sides of that broken process became the blueprint for Axys Analysis. Not a tool to filter people out faster — a way to give recruiters back the signal they'd lost, and give candidates who can actually do the job a fair shot at proving it.

So we measured job-relevant cognitive ability. How someone thinks under pressure, reasons through unfamiliar problems, and whether they actually processed the question or just generated a plausible-sounding answer.

Every assessment is tailored from the job description. No test library, no manual curation. An engineering role gets a different assessment than an analyst role, because the cognitive demands are different. The score lands in your ATS before the first interview is even scheduled.

We believe hiring decisions should be based on how people think — not how well they write a cover letter with GPT.

A platform that gets sharper with every hire.

Every assessment Axys Analysis runs contributes anonymised cognitive scores to a growing benchmark dataset. Over time, this builds the most detailed picture of cognitive performance by role, seniority, and industry — which means scoring gets more precise, and role-weighting gets sharper, the more the platform is used. The longer you use it, the better it works.

10 design partner spots. 3 months free.

We're working with TA leaders at Greenhouse and Lever shops to shape the product. In exchange for regular feedback and a case study at the end.

Ideal fit: hiring teams of 50–500 employees, actively using Greenhouse or Lever.
