Built by People Who’ve Been There.
We’ve sat on both sides of the interview table. We built SageScreen because we knew there had to be a better way.
The Problem We Saw
Screening Was Broken.
We Lived It.
Ryan brings three decades of experience as an enterprise architect across aerospace, fintech, and health-tech. From Fortune 500s to scrappy startups, he’s learned what happens when the right person is matched to the right seat. Projects move faster. Teams stay aligned. Big ideas actually ship.
Alongside Kayla’s 15 years in leadership, they recognized how hard it is to find real talent, especially in startups interviewing for complex roles without deep in-house expertise. Those experiences shape SageScreen: a structured, fair, and data-driven approach to screening candidates with confidence.
“We kept asking: why does screening still feel like guesswork? Why don’t the strongest candidates always rise to the top—and what would it take to change that?”
The answer isn’t more tools. The market is already full of them. The answer is clarity, a way to cut through the noise, surface real indicators, and give interviewing teams what they actually need: structured, explainable insight.
So we built SageScreen. Not to replace human judgment, but to sharpen it. Not to automate decisions, but to make them confident and defensible. An AI that runs consistent, adaptive interviews; then steps back and lets people decide.
We’re a small team by design. Two founders, married, building something we genuinely want to use. No pressure to grow at all costs. No black-box algorithms we can’t explain. Just a thoughtful tool, built with care, that does exactly what it promises.
That’s SageScreen. Calm Screening. Clear signal. Human decisions.
