Skills before keywords.
A skills-first recruiting platform that scores candidates on what they can actually do, using transparent recruiter-controlled match weights instead of black-box keyword filters.
Company overview
About Rigel
Rigel is a skills-first recruiting platform built for recruiters who need to evaluate candidates beyond CV keywords. Recruiters control the weights behind each match score, making every score transparent and reproducible, while AI is used to read CVs rather than make the hiring decision. Once a candidate profile is confirmed, Rigel can score it automatically against open roles, with both sides remaining anonymous until a recruiter shortlists.
