Simpler recruiting. Human decisions.

Born from an idea, built for real problems

My name is Ádám Szántai, and I am the founder and developer of HRAtan.

I have several years of experience in sales and customer relations, and I have always been interested in how technology can make everyday work simpler.

I did not start this project as an HR professional, but as someone who has experienced the difficulties of job hunting first-hand, and who believes that well-designed software should serve people.

Why did I create HRAtan?

Because I believe recruiting does not have to be complicated.

A business should spend its time building the business, not browsing an endless stream of CVs, maintaining spreadsheets and dealing with repetitive admin.

On the applicant side, I do not think it is reasonable to fill in long forms for a single application, often with information that is already in the CV.

That is why HRAtan was born: a recruitment support system that uses artificial intelligence to help process information, simplifies applying, and leaves more time for what really matters.

The login page: a simple function, with meaning

Logging in is the simplest function an app has, yet this is the one I wanted to give meaning to.

While designing the apps I wanted to express that our goal is for employer and employee to find each other with ease. Both start from the same place, which we call the labour market, and finally meet in the middle: that meeting is the light strip at the bottom.

And if, for whatever reason, the meeting does not happen, Atan helps. That is why neon lines start from the logo and, if you watch the screen for a while, run along the card and meet in the middle, at the employee and the employer.

Technology, with responsibility

I keep four principles in mind while developing HRAtan:

• People always have the final say.

  AI helps with assessment and with organising information, but decisions about candidates are made by recruiters and employers.

• Data protection is fundamental.

  HRAtan’s primary database is located in the European Union, in Frankfurt. We give particular attention to the security of candidate data and to access control.

• AI is a tool, not something that learns from candidates’ data.

  We use candidate data only for analysis as part of the service, not to train our own AI models.

• Responsible development and transparency.

  We develop the system with the requirements of the GDPR and the EU AI Act in mind, with particular emphasis on human oversight and the traceability of decisions.

We are not trying to save the world

Our goal is simpler: to build a tool that genuinely makes businesses’ work easier.

HRAtan is continuously being developed, and user feedback matters a lot to us. I believe good software is not good because it has as many features as possible, but because people enjoy using it.

We do not ask more of businesses than I would be happy to accept as a customer myself. That is why the 14-day HRAtan trial does not ask for card details either.
