Building AI for HR since 2014

Textio builds tools that help high-growth companies recruit and coach high-performing teams.

Our story

Textio was founded on one conviction: better job posts attract better candidates.

Over the years, we kept hearing the candidate pools were better, yet great hires didn't always follow.

Something was breaking between the candidate pool and the offer letter.

So we looked at the middle—the interview—and found the weakest link in hiring: improvised questions, inconsistent conversations, gut-feel debriefs.

Teams were building better pools, then running them through a process never built to  evaluate them.

That's why we built Lavalier.

With Textio and Lavalier, you can recruit with precision, interview with discipline, hire the best, and build your most excellent team.

How we work

Speak truth

Speak truth

Don’t sugarcoat, be real. Reduce the distance between what you believe and what you say. Share transparently and authentically without fear.

Play to win

Play to win

Compete and celebrate as a team, with winning as the goal. Do your part and trust others to do theirs. Have fun, don’t be so serious. Leave the ego and drama behind.

Be fast and fearless

Be fast and fearless

We’re the underdog, so stay on offense. Take action when you’re only 75% sure. Ask advice, but don’t wait for permission. Be willing to change quickly if you’re wrong.

Fight for our customers

Fight for our customers

Obsess over our users. Listen actively and understand them deeply. Champion customers fiercely. Be their greatest advocate internally and their best partner externally.

Innovate with purpose

Innovate with purpose

Build diverse teams to sharpen ideas with different perspectives. Focus on creating moments of delight. Build the better mousetrap only when it differentiates.

Take ownership

Take ownership

Look for gaps and fill them without being asked. Lead by doing the work. Promise and deliver: say what you’re going to do, and then do that.

How we don't work

Throughout a decade of solving complex problems, failing, succeeding, and growing, we’ve found it’s just as important to name ways we don’t want to work.

We don’t hold back unpopular opinions.
We don’t apologize for competing our asses off.
We don’t wait for direction, permission, or consensus.
We don’t get distracted by ideas that don’t help customers.
We don’t waste time building unneeded shiny things.
We don’t look for someone else to jump in—we just jump.
