We build hiring that runs on proof, for the people on both sides of it.
Hire in a wink.
One road from the job post to approved hours.
01.Who the--?!
A small team with a big problem.
Winkle is a small team of engineers and designers who have sat on both sides of the hiring table. We've written the CVs nobody read and read the CVs that said nothing. So we build the tool we wanted then: one hiring platform for the whole job, from the role and the screening to the tests, interviews, decision, contract and the hours after it.
We'd rather show you than tell you.
02.What the--?!
Hiring, from the first CV to approved hours.
Most hiring tools stop at the offer letter. Winkle keeps going. Every CV is read against the role with its reasons, the skill is tested rather than claimed, the interview goes after the gaps, and the contract and the hours live in the same record as everything before them.
- – Sourcing & talent
- – Roles & applications
- – Screening & interviews
- – Evidence & decisions
- – Contracts & signing
- – Work & time
- – Team & permissions
- – Platform
03.How the--?!
The AI reads. People decide.
We use AI where it saves people hours: reading a hundred CVs, drafting a test, running a first interview. We stop it where judgement belongs to a person. Every score shows why it is what it is, every integrity flag is a moment to watch rather than a finding, and nobody is rejected by a machine: rules can suggest, a person decides.
- – Scores come with their reasons
- – Flags, never verdicts
- – Rules suggest, people decide
- – Candidate text is walled off from the AI
Proof over promises.
A skill is verified by work someone watched, not by the CV line that claims it.
People decide.
The AI reads and recommends, with its reasons. Advancing or rejecting someone is a person’s call.
Candidates own their record.
Results stay with the employer who set the test. What travels is the verified skill.
Honest by default.
Flags, never verdicts. No invented numbers. A free plan with no card.
04.Why the--?!
Because most hiring runs on guesses.
A CV says what someone claims. An interview repeats questions another company already asked. The evidence that would settle it, the work someone actually did, rarely survives past the offer. We wanted a place where it does, and where it travels with the person who earned it.
Winkle started with a simple frustration. Good people were being filtered out by keyword scanners, and hiring teams were drowning in applications they had no time to read properly. Both sides were guessing.
So we asked a different question: what if every step of hiring left evidence behind? A test someone passed, an interview answer, a piece of work, kept and carried forward instead of lost after the offer. That's Winkle. The AI does the reading. People make the decisions. The proof belongs to the person who earned it.
05.Where the--?!
Built for anyone hiring, anywhere.
The people we help hire are everywhere, which is why interviews run in eleven languages and every record is built to cross borders with the person it belongs to.
