Resumes pile up after hours
Founders and hiring managers spend evenings and weekends reviewing applicants by hand. There is no filter between every resume and your desk.
An ATS with AI hiring intelligence for growing businesses
Hire like you have a recruiting team. Even when you don't.
Ellyo brings recruiter-grade hiring structure to teams without a recruiting department. Open a role, evaluate candidates with evidence, run the debrief, and support post-hire ramp all in one place.
The problem
You didn't start a business to review resumes.
Hiring is one of the highest leverage things you do and one of the easiest to fumble when there is no structure behind it.
Interviews happen without structure
Without a consistent rubric, evaluations vary by who interviewed and how much time they had. Strong candidates get missed and weak ones advance.
A wrong hire costs the whole team
A bad hire does not just set one role back. It slows the whole team, burns management bandwidth, and forces you to start the search over.

Avery Collins
Sr. Talent Manager
Ellyo’s read
Avery brings six-plus years of talent management experience with a track record building scalable recruiting programs and improving hiring outcomes. Strong on cross-functional collaboration and data-informed decisions. Some limited exposure to executive-level hiring is worth exploring in the next interview.
Key strengths
- Scaled a recruiting function from early stage to more than 150 hires
- Strong stakeholder alignment across engineering, product, and design
- Data-driven process improvements with measurable impact
Watch for
- Limited exposure to executive-level hiring
- Early tenure in the two most recent roles
- Prefers IC-adjacent work over people leadership
Suggested behavioral questions
- Walk me through the last executive-level search you supported end to end.
- How do you calibrate a role when the hiring manager has never hired for it before?
- Describe a time when a hire underperformed. What signal did you miss and how would you catch it now?
Ellyo informs, the hiring manager decides. Questions are prompts, not a script.
Founder story
Built by a talent leader and entrepreneur who has experienced hiring from every side.
For more than 20 years, I have helped organizations identify, evaluate, and hire the people who move their businesses forward. I have also built, scaled, and sold companies of my own, so I understand that hiring feels very different when the decision, the cost, and the outcome rest directly on you.
