HIKARI
Private testing · Black Star AI
An AI-powered talent intelligence platform.

You're a better judge
than any AI.

So we built one that learns from you — instead of trying to replace you.

Human-led. AI-supported. Your real roles, your real clients.

Built by a team of recruiters, engineers and executives from:

Google·Meta·Amazon·Shell·BP·Reuters·Apple·Diageo·Dr Martens·H&M
RecruitersGoogle, Meta, Amazon, Shell, BP and Reuters — plus agency desks and executive search.
EngineersApple.
ExecutivesDiageo, Dr Martens and H&M.

Four camps who agreed on nothing — except that a tool should make a great recruiter faster, not pretend to be one.

Every AI tool gives you a score. Only you know if it's right.

So Hikari doesn't overrule you. It learns you.

Every time you disagree with it, it gets sharper — at judging the way you judge. Three corrections in, it starts to notice. Enough of them, and it scores your desk the way you would on your best day.

That's the difference between AI that replaces you and AI that compounds you.

It hands the decision back. Every single time.

It informs — it never sends, rejects or actions anything on its own. Below the evidence, it says “not yet” instead of faking a confident number. Change a brief and it flags the affected scores rather than quietly re-running them behind your back.

A tool that decides for you is a tool you have to double-check. This one just makes you faster at the thing you're already good at.

Everything we crossed out

The one thing nobody else can see.

A third of your rejections have nothing to do with whether the person could do the job — salary, notice, someone already at final stage. Those aren't scoring failures. They're briefing failures, and they're the expensive ones.

Because Hikari holds the score, your score, and the client's decision on the same candidate, it's the only thing that can tell them apart — and hand you the words to go back to your client with.

Thirty days. Your desk. The honest test.

Put a live vacancy through it. Send a real shortlist to a real hiring manager. See what comes back.

After 30 days, either your consultants are still using it — or they've quietly gone back to what they did before. Which tells you everything, and cost you nothing.

One reply, from a person. No sequence, no webinar.
Right — you're on the list. We'll come back to you to get it set up. In the meantime, see it working.
