Tessellate

For the largest commercial architectural and design projects, hiring is very challenging and expensive. Middlemen are often paid an equivalent of a one-year salary for the hire, and hiring itself can be flawed and biased.

The client set out to build an alternative - a service that connects top interior, landscape, urban and architectural designers with prospective clients, and overhauls the hiring process to find the right fit more often.

Clients in this industry have very specific requirements, which had to be presented in an accessible way. Same goes for the candidate's skills and experiences, which vary greatly. We used a custom-made algorithm to match profiles and allow the client to adjust the matching engine according to their preferences.

In the next step, the anonymized matching system connects candidates and clients, eliminating some early biases like gender and candidate’s appearance. All the data had to be easy to pull out of the system and sent to the business analytics API.

With Tessellate, both candidates and clients have a much clearer picture of the level of their compatibility, and easier access to better candidate data. The hiring process itself is more streamlined and fair, and the cost of hiring is significantly lower than industry standards.
