About
Hiring is broken. We're fixing it.
The standard hiring process fails at scale. Chesky replaces subjective guesswork with structured evidence.

The problem
The cost of a wrong hire is staggering.
A bad hire at the senior level can cost as much as twice the role's annual salary once you count recruitment, onboarding, lost productivity, team disruption, and severance. Most hiring decisions are made with less rigor than a performance review.
Leadership IQ found that 46% of new hires fail within 18 months. In 89% of those cases the failure was attitude and culture fit, not skill, the very things a structured evaluation would have surfaced.
The hiring industry sold software to post jobs, collect resumes, and schedule interviews. Nobody was solving the actual problem: making better decisions about the people in the pipeline.
Our solution
Everything your ATS was never designed to do.
Chesky connects to your existing ATS, read-only. No migration, no rip-and-replace. We see your pipeline and add an intelligence layer your ATS was never designed to provide.
Our engine pulls from your pipeline data and the candidate's real-work case study to build a structured evidence record tied to the exact job. The work, the LinkedIn, the GitHub, the CV, all sourced and read, so your team sees concrete strengths and risks, not a black-box number.
Every record carries evidence across competency dimensions, an anti-AI integrity check, and a cultural-fit read. Every decision is defensible by design.
What we believe
Why we exist, how we work,
and what we build.
Three sentences the whole team knows by heart. What we believe, how we prove it, and what we hand you.
People should be judged on what they can actually do.
The belief. Not the school. Not the polish. Not who they know. The only honest sign in hiring is what someone can do, and people deserve to be seen for it.
It connects to your hiring tool, learns from past hires, and puts people on real work, live, so you see how they really think.
The method. Real work over interviews. Your data over generic tests. A loop that gets a little better every time.
Chesky is the decision layer. It hands your team the evidence on every candidate, so every offer you send is backed by data.
The product. It plugs into your hiring tool and surfaces the strongest candidates, each with their strengths and risks, so you decide on proof.
What we believe
Our values.
Defensible by default
Every evaluation Chesky produces can be explained, audited, and defended. We build logic that holds up in a boardroom or a courtroom.
Human-centered AI
AI finds the patterns. Humans make the decision. We build tools that augment judgment, never replace it. The final call belongs to your team.
Structured over subjective
Gut feel is right about half the time. A structured evaluation framework is right far more often. We choose structure every time.
Trust through transparency
We show our work. Every read has a rationale. Every dimension has evidence. No black boxes, ever.
Our story
Built in 2026, inside BeGlobal.
Chesky was born in San Francisco in 2026, when Pedro and Stefano moved there together for the On Deck Founders fellowship. They arrived with years of hard-won pattern recognition from building BeGlobal (beglobal.work), where they had vetted and placed senior talent for high-growth teams across the world.
Living and building inside SF's founder community sharpened a conviction they already held: the companies shipping the best products hire with the most rigor, not the most speed. They knew the gaps in how the world evaluates talent because they had spent years working inside them.
We built Chesky because no tool made structured, defensible evaluation practical at scale. The market was full of systems that managed the hiring process without improving the outcome. Every company deserves an evaluation process as rigorous as the decisions it produces, whether it runs a ten-person recruiting team or a solo HR manager wearing five hats.
