Simera, the AI Platform for Remote Hiring?
BOSTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / Simera has recently launched their new platform, with technologies that power and speed up remote hiring. Panos Bethanis, Chairman, Said Hassan, CEO, and Sofia Castillo, Chief Innovation Officer, are some of the leaders of the company. Simera has become a one-stop platform for remote hiring, from sourcing to hiring. The Place to Hire Global Remote Talent Simera has established a reputation for itself by utilizing innovative AI to generate automated scoring and candidate shortlists. They are already serving hundreds of clients with their platform, which has vetted over 500,000 professionals from Latin America, MENA Region, Philippines, U.S, and others. Chief Innovation Officer Castillo has been named to Forbes' top 100 Powerful Women in Central America. One of Simera's clients noted, 'Simera has been invaluable in our hiring process. They specialize in hiring across Latin America and other parts of the world. Their expertise has helped us recruit and hire in Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and Argentina, all for a low monthly fee and in a compliant manner.' It Shouldn't Be Hard to Find and Hire the Best Global Talent The founders recognize that there are exceptional humans globally, and companies still struggle to hire them due to the lack of streamlined international talent acquisition systems. Sofia says, 'Coming from Guatemala, it's the norm to see amazing talent going unnoticed by global companies. Companies in the US should be able to find the best talent from all around the world. " The founders solved this issue by developing Simera, a one-stop solution for global sourcing and hiring. The vision of this company is to end the scrolling through pools of candidates that are not a match, to have no more repetitive, superficial assessments and interview processes, and no more separate tools for sourcing, vetting, hiring, and managing talent. Using AI to Solve Global Hiring The founders understand that sourcing is a data-matching problem, and they resolve this issue with the help of AI. Their sourcing engine allows them to automatically source, vet, and match talent with companies. AI excels at repetitive tasks, which is a key factor in hiring. For that reason, Simera is integrating proprietary and emerging technologies to deliver one seamless, data-first experience. Simera's AI evaluates the company's over 500,000 candidates based on variables that consider a candidate holistically. For a person to match a company, it is not only about the things on their resume; it is also about their vision, personality, behavior, and many other variables. Simera's Advantage Companies using Simera receive a shortlist of pre-qualified candidates. Simera enhances recruitment for both job seekers and companies, saving valuable time for both applicants and employers. The platform integrates the entire hiring process, from automatically sourcing candidates to matching them with employers, conducting interviews, and managing payroll. The platform leads in business-critical remote roles that complement technology, customer success, operations, sales, marketing, back-office roles, and many other critical areas. While other platforms rely only on resumes, Simera stands out by combining various assessments, including personalized smart interviews, skill and behavioral analysis, and other types of automated evaluations. The platform is not just simplifying the hiring process; it is also looking to change how employers connect with potential candidates. About Simera Simera takes care of the sourcing, hiring, payroll and compliance, all in one platform. They make global talent accessible for anyone to grow and scale their teams at 70% less the cost. Once you share the job position you need, the company generates a curated candidate list of people that already include their AI scores, One-way interviews, making the evaluation a seamless process. The company creates curated candidate lists, helps prepare information for interviews, and effortlessly transitions from selection to onboarding.
