Company mission
To build tools that help high-growth companies recruit and coach high-performing teams.
Our take
Hiring great people sounds simple, but it's a pretty tough challenge business face. Job adverts can put the wrong candidates off, interviews can be inconsistent, and feedback is often influenced by bias rather than evidence. So for companies trying to build high-performing teams, getting these decisions right can make all the difference.
Textio helps take the guesswork out of hiring and employee feedback with its AI-powered tools that help businesses write better job adverts, run more structured interviews and give clearer, fairer feedback to employees. And its interview intelligence platform, Lavalier, helps recruiters focus on real evidence instead of instinct, making it easier to identify the best candidates and create a more consistent hiring process.
Since launching in 2014, Textio has become a trusted partner for global organizations including Bloomberg, Cisco, Johnson & Johnson, Samsung and Spotify. With recognition from the likes of Fast Company, Forbes and CNBC, the company has built itself a strong reputation in HR technology. Now, as businesses continue looking for smarter and fairer ways to hire and develop talent, Textio is in a strong position to remain a leader in AI-powered recruitment.
