We believe talent should
speak for itself.
Distill exists to strip away the formatting noise, the bias, and the administrative friction that stands between a great candidate and their dream job.
Born from frustration.
Built for clarity.
Recruitment is a human industry, yet it is bogged down by a digital mess. Every day, agencies receive thousands of resumes—PDFs with broken headers, Docx files with inconsistent fonts, and layouts that break when parsed.
Recruiters spend hours manually "cleaning" these documents just to make them presentable. We realized that this wasn't just a waste of time; it was a barrier to entry.
We built Distill to solve one specific, painful problem: The Submittal. We automate the cleaning, branding, and anonymization of resumes so recruiters can stop formatting documents and start building relationships.
Automated Pipeline
A Venture Studio of One.
Distill is not a faceless corporation. It is the product of a "Venture Studio of One," led by a technologist with over 30 years of experience shipping global software products.
Direct Support
When you talk to support, you are often talking to the builder. No tiered support scripts, just answers.
Rapid Iteration
We don't have red tape. If our users need a new export format, we build it. Fast.
Stability
Built on a foundation of three decades of engineering best practices, prioritizing security and uptime above all else.
Our Values
Privacy by Design
We don't sell data. We don't farm resumes. We are a processor, not a broker. Whether it's GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California, we build tools that protect candidate dignity and agency liability.
Bias is a Bug
We believe unconscious bias is a "bug" in the hiring process. Our anonymization tools aren't just a feature; they are a commitment to fairer hiring practices.
Speed Matters
In recruitment, time kills deals. Our platform is engineered to process documents in seconds, not minutes.
Built in New Zealand. Deployed Globally.
