Rhett Lindsey is the founder and CEO of Siimee. Siimee is a hiring platform that connects job seekers and employers through a face-to-face matching experience that eliminates bias that often occurs early in the hiring process of any company.
In his early life, Rhett graduated from the University of Kentucky and holds a bachelor’s degree in social work. Lindsey started his work life by leading and collaborating with teams of famous companies like Facebook, Tinder, Microsoft, and the Walt Disney company. He used to source and hire talent in the field of technology and software development. Lindsey was the first to establish and lead the tech conglomerate’s first black history month series and collaborated with the social impact organization in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. After working for more than 7 years in the recruiting sector of the tech industry- in 2020 he decided to leave and create his own recruiting app. The idea of creating a recruitment app dawned on him when he dealt with unjust recruitment technologies such as Applicant Tracking Systems, or ATS, that led to unconscious bias in the hiring process while working in the Tinder company.
Siimee is a social impact platform that aims to eliminate bias in hiring and transform the way employers connect with a job seeker where hiring leaders focuses on meaningful qualifications than their characteristics. They aim to create fair and equal opportunities for all the people out there who are looking for a job in this competitive job market.
The brand voice of Siimee is, “Siimee™ is a recruiting app that focuses on who you are, not what you are.”
Siimee wants to end limitations and provide all new possibilities for both job seekers and hiring leaders. They want to increase awareness of the inherent problems in recruiting and hiring, developing training programs, and creating a non-biased hiring tool that is completely unlike the ATS used by more than 90% of large U.S. corporations.
Rhett’s story and experience in the recruiting sector have been nationally featured in famous media outlets like The Washington Post, CNBC, and CBS News This Morning. Currently, they are trying to change the flawed systematic approach where hiring leaders use to qualify, source, and recruit potential candidates for positions which generally happen during recruitment in any company. Rhett Lindsey has successfully established a recruiting app that has gained massive success since its launch is one of the rising recruiting apps in the industry.
