Current mission

To reimagine how the world hires by making AI-driven recruitment ethical, transparent, and accessible. While most platforms stop at resume screening, Hyring conducts real AI-powered interviews that evaluate depth of knowledge, confidence, and communication. Every candidate gets feedback, whether they're selected or not. The goal isn't to automate hiring. It's to make it fundamentally more human by removing the inefficiencies, biases, and ghosting that plague traditional recruitment. From Fortune 500 enterprises to fast-growing startups, the mission is to ensure that every qualified person gets a fair shot, regardless of where they come from.

Founder of Hyring Inc

Jan 2022 - Present

Co-Founded Hyring.com with Surya Nagarajan to solve a problem experienced firsthand while scaling Domaincer: hiring was slow, expensive, and broken. Hyring is an AI-powered recruitment platform that doesn't just screen resumes. It conducts real video and phone interviews, detects cheating in real time, evaluates confidence, depth of knowledge, and communication skills, and gives every candidate feedback, even those who aren't selected. Over 250,000 AI interviews conducted for Fortune 500 companies at just $1 per interview, across offices in Chennai, San Francisco, and Dubai.

How it got started

  • Icon
    While running Domaincer, clients kept asking for the same thing: "Can you also help us find developers?" The hiring process was the bottleneck. Slow sourcing, unstructured interviews, ghosted candidates. Every inefficiency compounded. It became clear that the recruitment industry wasn't going to fix itself. It needed a fundamentally different approach.
  • Icon
    That realization, born from years of watching talented people get lost in broken processes, became Hyring.

Founder of Domaincer

Mar 2008 - Present

Domaincer logo

Founded Domaincer at the age of 15, starting with web development and growing it into a full-service technology consultancy with 50+ employees across web development, mobile app development, UX/UI design, SEO, digital marketing, and cybersecurity. In 2023, recognizing the transformative potential of AI, Domaincer pivoted to become an AI consulting firm, helping enterprises adopt, integrate, and scale AI solutions across their operations.

How it got started

  • Icon
    It started with necessity, not ambition. At 15, Adithyan RK needed to earn money. He taught himself web development and started building websites for local businesses. One client became two. Two became ten. What began as a side hustle turned into a real company, with real employees, real clients, and real problems to solve.
  • Icon
    Over 15+ years, Domaincer evolved from a one-person freelance operation into a multi-service technology firm. That journey taught the foundational lesson behind everything that came after: solve real problems, and the business follows.
