About Us

# A Mission to Improve the Hiring Experience for All

Reinventing recruiting to connect employers and candidates faster, fairer, and more efficiently.

## Our Story

Classet was founded by the team behind **Bluecrew**, a digital staffing platform acquired by EmployBridge, the largest U.S. light industrial staffing firm. Over a decade, we helped more than **1 million W2 hourly workers** find jobs.

We saw firsthand how broken the hiring process was — slow responses, overwhelmed recruiters, and candidates who never heard back. We built Classet to fix it.

## Why We Started Classet

The numbers tell the story of a broken system.

75%

of applicants never hear back

50-70%

drop in hire likelihood per day of delay

64%

of candidates apply after hours

40+

roles the average jobseeker applies to

"Technology should enhance — not replace — the human touch in recruiting."

## Meet the Founders

Our team built Bluecrew, helping 1 million W2 hourly workers find jobs. We saw the screening bottleneck firsthand and built Classet to solve it.

## The Future of Hiring

We believe hiring should be instant, equitable, and human-first.

### Instant

Speed wins talent. Every hour of delay costs you candidates.

### Equitable

Interviews should show potential, not just a resume. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard.

### Human-first

Technology should create time for human connection, not replace it.

### For Recruiters

-   Focus on final interviews, not repetitive screening
-   Increase job ad ROI with faster candidate response
-   Cut time-to-hire dramatically

### For Candidates

-   Interview anytime — nights, weekends, whenever works
-   Get faster responses instead of silence
-   Showcase your personality, not just your resume

## Press & Recognition

Featured in industry publications and recognized by customers.
