About

Fixing hiring
from both sides.

Story

The story, in two beats.

Suraj Divakala

Suraj Divakala

Suraj went to the UK for his master's, and the job hunt there broke something in him. Ninety percent of his applications went unanswered. The replies that did come were hollow rejections with no reason and nothing to learn from. After enough of them, you start to feel worthless, like you are writing to a void that was never going to write back.

Then he came back to India and started Nivaara Consulting. The first role he needed to fill pulled in several hundred applicants, and most were never seriously interested. Days disappeared into reading resumes and chasing people who had already moved on. The same loop that ignored him as a candidate was now burying him as an employer.

Shreyansh spent two and a half years at a financial services firm in India before deciding it was time to move on. The four months that followed were the same silence Suraj knew from the other side of the world. A strong engineer with real experience, still ignored by a system that does not bother to respond.

He landed next at a US-based IT services firm, where he hired for his own team and saw the other side of the problem up close. The applications poured in by the hundreds, far more than anyone could read properly, and good people slipped through simply because there was no clean way to tell the serious few from the noise. He understood then why so many candidates never hear back. It is not always carelessness. The volume makes it nearly impossible to do right.

Reunion

Ten years in.

Suraj and Shreyansh have known each other for ten years, since their time in Jaipur. They went through the same broken hiring market on their own, from opposite seats and on different continents, and arrived at the same conclusion independently.

When they compared notes, building the fix together was the obvious next step. A decade of knowing how the other thinks is a head start most new teams do not get.
