Screening rewarded formatting. Rycuta rewards evidence.

Screening either takes hours of reading or hides its judgement behind a single number. Rycuta starts from the role instead: AI extracts what the role requires, assesses every application against it and explains each result, and people stay in charge of every decision.

  • AI proposes the criteriaIt extracts the requirements from your job description and proposes weighted criteria you can adjust.
  • Every assessment shows its workPass, fail or unknown on each criterion, with the reasoning written out.
  • People make every decisionRycuta never rejects anyone on its own, and every action is on the record.
A note from the founder

Hiring starts with a question that deserves a clear answer: what does this role actually need, and what would demonstrate that someone can do it?

I'm building Rycuta around that connection. AI has a meaningful role in helping teams articulate their requirements, assess applications against them and identify what needs a closer look. The aim is to give people the context to make considered decisions, with a clear understanding of what the assessment does, and does not, tell them.

I lead Rycuta's product design and engineering. Working directly with hiring teams keeps that work grounded in how people actually recruit: the questions they ask, the judgments they need to make and the practical details that determine whether a product is useful.

Small, on purpose.

A product built by one person is a fair thing to ask about. Here is what it means for you.

You talk to the builder

Questions, feedback and bug reports go straight to the person who can act on them.

Your feedback shapes the roadmap

What early-access teams need decides what comes after Candidates and Interviews.

Protection built into the product

Each workspace's data is kept apart at the database level, CVs are stored privately, and every action is recorded. Teams & trust

Operated through AxonFold.

Co-founded by Maziar, AxonFold is Rycuta's operating company. AxonFold is the legal entity behind the service: it holds customer agreements and is responsible for how data is handled. Rycuta shares its working principles.

01Clarity before complexity

We make the problem legible before adding technology to it.

02Operating reality over demonstration

A system is successful when it works reliably for the people and processes that depend on it.

03Applied AI with purpose

AI belongs where it produces a defensible improvement, not where it merely decorates the proposition.

04Direct responsibility

Founders remain close to the work, the decisions, and the outcome.

AXONFOLD
