Company mission

Feisty's mission is to help small companies stand out from the noise in the contest for talent.

Our take

Companies' priorities for hiring candidates have changed, with the focus now predominantly on speeding up hiring processes, reducing biases, and improving the candidate experience. Feisty's strategy is well-adapted to this climate, as users receive rapid, personalised matching with leading SMEs, boutiques, agencies, start-ups, and scale-ups.

Feisty is continuing to hone its advanced talent pool and candidate-matching technology, enabling more bespoke software solutions for recruitment. It is also using cutting-edge data science and automating key processes including application filtering, all of which result in massive cost and time savings.

This will help both private and public sector employees to streamline their hiring processes. Feisty has already matched together over 1,000 companies with 200,000 candidates, and is well-placed to grow in the expanding recruitment industry.
