About Us
Zeit identifies high-intent, right-fit candidates, faster. We develop digital "day-in-the-life challenges" that enable candidates to try on a role before they apply. We recognize the hours, and potential bias, that goes into screening resumes and phone interviews to gauge fit. Our challenges help bring real scenarios to life to help both candidates and hiring teams find a fit.
The Problem
Recruiters and hiring teams receive an 200+ applicant resumes per role. They spend hours sifting through the resumes and profiles to identify the right-fit candidates to move forward. The resumes are filled with bias, static, and not standardized. We're reducing the time to screen and hire through an unbiased process that focuses on assessing candidates based on the jobs to be done in that specific role.
