Fort Lauderdale-based AI hiring technology company expands its international footprint through strategic partnership with India-based recruitment platform Shiftz

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. & GURUGRAM, India - August 25, 2026 - Hello Recruiter®, a U.S.-based AI hiring technology company headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, today announced a strategic business partnership with Shiftz, an India-based recruitment technology platform, marking an important step in Hello Recruiter's international expansion.

The partnership brings together Hello Recruiter's AI-powered hiring and candidate assessment technology with Shiftz's recruitment ecosystem and market presence in India.

Together, the companies aim to make advanced AI-powered interviewing, screening and candidate assessment capabilities more accessible to recruitment agencies, staffing firms and employers across India.

"AI is fundamentally changing how organizations identify and evaluate talent, but the real opportunity is in building technology that goes beyond automation," said Ayush Jain, Co-Founder of Hello Recruiter. "At Hello Recruiter, we are building an intelligent hiring platform that can interview, assess and understand candidates across multiple dimensions-from experience and communication to technical capabilities and problem-solving. Our partnership with Shiftz gives us an opportunity to bring these capabilities to recruiters and employers operating in one of the world's most diverse talent markets."

AI Designed to Empower Recruiters:
Hello Recruiter is building an AI-powered hiring platform designed to support critical stages of candidate evaluation.
Its capabilities include:
- AI-powered web and phone interviews
- Intelligent resume screening and candidate scoring
- Coding and technical assessments
- Take-home and project-based evaluations
- Candidate fraud and risk detection
- Multilingual candidate engagement
- Structured candidate intelligence and reporting

The technology is designed to reduce repetitive screening and assessment work while giving recruiters and hiring teams deeper, structured insights into candidates before advancing them through the hiring process.
The companies share a view that the future of recruiting is not AI versus recruiters, but rather AI working alongside recruiters-using technology to increase productivity while keeping human judgment and relationships at the center of hiring.

India as a Strategic Growth Market:
For Hello Recruiter, the partnership represents more than an entry into a new geographic market.
The company is developing a global expansion strategy centered on working with strong local partners that understand their markets and have established relationships with recruiters, staffing organizations and employers.

"India is a strategic market for Hello Recruiter and an important part of our global expansion," said Avinash (Avi) Tiwari, Co-Founder of Hello Recruiter. "Our strategy is to scale through strong local partnerships with organizations that understand their markets and already have trusted relationships across the recruitment ecosystem. Shiftz represents exactly that kind of partner. This collaboration gives us an opportunity to build a scalable distribution model in India while creating a foundation that we can replicate across other international markets."

India's large and diverse workforce, extensive staffing and recruitment industry, and rapid adoption of AI-enabled business technology make the country an important market for Hello Recruiter's international growth strategy.

Combining Technology with Recruitment Expertise:
Shiftz connects employers with recruitment agencies and recruiters through its recruitment technology ecosystem.
The strategic partnership creates an opportunity to combine that recruitment reach and local market knowledge with Hello Recruiter's AI interviewing and assessment capabilities.

"Recruitment is rapidly evolving as organizations look for ways to combine technology with human expertise," said Rachit Mathur, Founder & CEO of Shiftz. "Our collaboration with Hello Recruiter creates an opportunity to make advanced AI interviewing and assessment capabilities more accessible to recruiters and employers across India."

Through the partnership, the companies intend to help recruitment organizations use AI to screen candidates more efficiently, conduct structured assessments and provide employers with deeper candidate insights-while allowing recruiters to focus more of their time on relationships, judgment and final hiring decisions.
