Adding Intelligence to the Hiring Process.

At Edvo, we care deeply about helping people think well.  The same way everyone has a personal computer (now multiple personal computers), we have a thesis that everyone will have a personal database that augments them wherever they are, on whichever device they use. We're building a team of empathetic and thoughtful individuals who care deeply about how we all think, collaborate, and create. Our current digital environments favor passive consumption, not critical thought, yet billions of people are online to learn, create, and understand the world better.
