# HR Paddy

> HR Paddy is an AI recruitment platform (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 (an "ATS score" with reasons), and the team invites the best candidates to AI, video or in-person interviews, then hires — with a free-forever plan.
