Recruitment & Talent Tech

AI recruitment software built for the EU's data-residency reality: EU-hosted candidate matching for teams comfortable with SaaS, and fully on-device screening for teams whose compliance posture rules out cloud processing entirely.

Why This Industry

Candidate data is some of the most regulated data an EU business handles, which turns most cloud AI recruiting tools into a compliance question before they're a productivity win. Knovik approaches this from both sides: HireSignal is EU-hosted and GDPR-by-design for teams comfortable with SaaS; EdgeTal runs screening entirely on-device so CV data never reaches any cloud, EU or otherwise. Both are used daily in a real placement practice with 100+ placements of tech professionals into European companies.

What We Build

EU-Hosted Talent Matching

Semantic candidate matching on infrastructure hosted and processed inside the EU — the architecture behind HireSignal, for recruiters who want AI assistance without a cross-border data question to answer.

On-Device Candidate Screening

CV parsing, semantic search, and AI fit analysis that run entirely on the recruiter's own device — the architecture behind EdgeTal — for agencies whose compliance posture rules out cloud processing of candidate data altogether.

Custom Hiring Automation

Agentic workflows for the repetitive middle of recruiting — CV parsing, structured data extraction, screening coordination, pipeline reporting — built against your existing ATS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI candidate screening work without a GDPR cross-border transfer assessment?

Yes. EdgeTal runs CV parsing, semantic search, and AI fit analysis entirely on the recruiter's own device, so there's no transfer to assess — the data never leaves the device it was imported on. HireSignal takes the other approach: EU-hosted infrastructure, so the data stays inside the EU by architecture.

Does anyone at Knovik actually work in EU recruitment?

Yes. Hasanthi Lakmali has placed 100+ tech professionals from South Asia into roles with European companies over the past two years, and uses EdgeTal and HireSignal in that day-to-day sourcing and screening work.
