About

Built from a hiring problem.

Evalgist began with a recurring evaluation problem: hundreds of applications, limited time, and an outcome that still had to be defended. The first workflow was academic hiring. The method now applies wherever people evaluate a batch of documents against the same criteria.

Where it started

Large applicant pools are rarely read with equal attention. Under time pressure, triage moves quickly and the criteria shift between files. A chat assistant can speed up the reading, but it starts each conversation from zero and leaves the reasoning in a scrollback.

Evalgist replaces that ad-hoc flow with one criteria set for the batch, quoted evidence behind each judgment, and an exportable record. The reviewer makes the decision.

What we build

Evalgist builds separate products around this method. Evalgist Shortlist applies it to resume screening. Evalgist Grade will apply it to grading written assessments. Each product follows the documents, criteria, and record its reviewers actually use.

How we work

Every result stays traceable to its source. Extracted text is deleted after analysis, original files are kept for a 14-day recovery window, and AI requests use zero-data-retention routing. Read more about how we handle data.
