Our story and vision

We believe the best part of hiring is the people - 
not the paperwork that keeps you from them.

Why we started Zeligate

We built Zeligate because talented recruiters, hiring managers, and agency owners were drowning in work that didn't require judgment or intuition - just tedious tasks that made them question why they got into hiring at all. We believe your time should go to decisions that matter, not tasks that don't.

What if hiring just... worked?

Wake up to pre-screened candidates who've completed video interviews, passed compliance checks, and had references verified. This morning. While you slept, Zeli sourced profiles, screened qualifications, ran interviews, and verified documents - handling everything that doesn't need you so the work that does gets done. That's not automation for automation's sake. That's giving you back what made you love this job.

Why this matters

We're freeing recruiters and hiring managers from the 60% of hiring that's pure administration. The future of hiring isn't more software - it's more meaningful work. Work focused on what actually produces results. Conversations that matter. Decisions that build teams. Candidates who don't slip away.

That's what Zeligate is for.

We're just getting started

Zeli is already working for teams across retail, healthcare, tech, and beyond - saving thousands of hours, filling roles faster, and keeping top talent from slipping away.

But this is only the beginning.

We're building toward a future where the work you love takes center stage.
We'd love for you to join us.

What Drives Us

Respect time
Yours. Your candidates'. Your team's. Time is the one resource nobody gets back. We build features that save it, not waste it. If something takes longer than it should, we fix it.

Transparency over magic
We don't do black boxes. When Zeli makes a recommendation, it explains why. When we can't solve something, we say so. Trust comes from clarity, not mystery.

Fairness by design
Bias isn't just about good intentions—it's about systems. We build structured evaluation, consistent criteria, and documented decisions into everything. Fairness isn't a feature you turn on. It's the foundation.

Human judgement matters
AI should inform decisions, not make them. The final call about who joins your team should always be yours. We build intelligence that supports judgment, not replaces it.
