What is HR Paddy?

HR Paddy is an AI recruitment platform and applicant tracking system built in Lagos, Nigeria for hiring teams across Africa. Recruiters post a job, HR Paddy's AI scores every CV against the role with clear reasons, and the team invites the best candidates to AI, video or in-person interviews — on a free-forever plan.

Is HR Paddy an applicant tracking system (ATS)?

Yes. HR Paddy tracks every applicant from application to hire: a public apply link per job, AI CV screening with a match score, interview scheduling and calendar, hire or reject decisions, and a hiring funnel in analytics. Unlike a basic ATS, the screening and first-round interviews can run on AI.

Who is HR Paddy for?

HR managers, in-house recruiters, recruitment agencies and business owners hiring in Nigeria and across Africa. Small teams start on the Free plan; growing teams use Pro for unlimited jobs and applicants; agencies hiring for several clients use Enterprise for multi-company recruitment.

How does HR Paddy's AI score candidates?

Each application is scored against the job's description and requirements on skill match, experience match, education match, keyword relevance and the candidate's screening answer. Recruiters see the breakdown and the reasons behind every score, set the pass threshold, and can reconsider anyone.
