Everyone deserves a reply.
We’re building verified hiring infrastructure so frontline workers get a fair shot, and employers get hires they can trust.
“I wasn’t turned down. I was never even seen. CleoHR exists so the next person doesn’t vanish into the stack.”
Mo SaeedCo-founder & CEO
It started with a job application that never got a reply.
When our co-founder arrived in America, one of the first things he did was apply for a job at McDonald’s. He never heard back. Not a no — just silence. He wasn’t unqualified, unwilling or unavailable. He simply disappeared into a pile of applications, like millions of frontline workers do every year.
That experience became the idea behind CleoHR: give every frontline worker a fast, fair, verified way to be seen, and give the employers hiring them a way to trust who is in front of them. One conversation, one verified identity, one shot that actually lands.
Make frontline hiring fast, fair and verified, for everyone in it.
Employers fill roles and stay compliant; workers get seen, verified, and carry a credential they own to the next job. Both sides win, or it isn’t worth building.
- Everyone gets seen
No qualified worker should vanish into a stack of applications.
- Trust is verified
Real identity and real compliance, not a quick glance and a guess.
- Workers own their record
The credential belongs to the person, and travels with them.
- Speed without shortcuts
Hiring that never cuts a compliance corner.
