Company mission

Hya's mission is to create a job-hunting, employee experience and management tool that people will love.

33% female employees

Our take

Hya’s target customers are the always recruiting, but always time-poor start-up market. After advising dozens of these companies through their start-up focused HR consultancy, People Club, Hya’s founders eyed the opportunity to use software to make their lives easier.

By prioritising process efficiency for start-ups, Hya believes that it has created a more tangibly useful tool in a crowded recruitment software market. For example, Hya members can rely on a number of time-saving templates as well as a Knowledge Hub full of practical hacks.

The company has tested its product with a number of enthusiastic Alpha testers and will be more aggressively promoting the service in 2022.

The Hya team has built a slick piece of practical technology rooted in decades of experience at the cutting edge of technology recruitment. However, they will need to focus on building out a fully fledged product that can compete with the major ATS' dominating the market today.

There is such a supportive environment at hya, we all go out of our way to help each other and encourage each other's ideas. I love that we work fast because we don't spend hours in meetings and planning and instead focus on bringing ideas to life. Outside of work we really enjoy spending time together socially too.

There are many ATS platforms out there but I think what we are creating with hya is going to be so useful to so many people and really fills a gap in the market. It's great that we are focused on the startup space as we get to work with lots of other innovative brands.
