# HRBlade — full site content

Autonomous AI hiring platform. Not a tool. Not an assistant. The hiring itself. Blade runs the candidate journey from first touch to 6-month performance review — 70% of recruiter busywork automated.

## Manifesto

Stop gluing five tools together. One AI does the hiring. HRBlade runs your full hiring loop — from sourcing and screening to onboarding and performance — with autonomous AI agents.

## The problem

The average hiring team runs on a Frankenstein stack of seven tools: ATS, video provider, assessment platform, outreach, analytics, chatbot and resume screener. 70% of recruiter time goes to busywork. The fully-loaded cost of replacing a software hire in the US is around $28,300 (SHRM, 2025). And 30%+ of new hires leave within their first year.

HRBlade collapses seven systems into one autonomous agent. One context. One database. One decision loop.

## Hiring lifecycle

The platform covers the full lifecycle: source, screen, interview (video and voice), assess, hire, onboard, perform. Candidates don't bounce between disconnected tools.

Classic applicant tracking systems were built to solve 2010's problem — store resumes and email threads. HRBlade solves 2026's problem: replace recruiter busywork with autonomous AI. Across every dimension that matters (autonomous AI agent, voice agent, predictive hiring, cognitive assessments, AI sourcing, on-prem deployment, audit-grade compliance), HRBlade ships features that legacy tools either don't have or bolt on as integrations.
