Experience profile submissions through a different lens
We turn CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and interviews into structured candidate reports built for Data & AI hiring. Instead of raw submissions, your team gets a clear narrative, risk view, and recommendation for every profile.
Overview
Skills Match
Achievements
Culture Fit
Each report combines a clear view of the candidate’s track record with transparent day rate, location, and availability — so you can assess fit and cost in one place.
Our LLM models map the role requirements to the candidate’s experience line by line, highlighting proven skills, adjacent capabilities, and gaps. You get an explainable match score with the evidence behind it.
We surface concrete outcomes: shipped products, delivered projects, migrations, model launches, and platform improvements - so you can quickly see who has done work that looks like your roadmap.
We combine interview feedback with behavioural signals from the candidate’s history, giving you a nuanced view of how they’re likely to operate inside your teams.

Less friction, more momentum.
Most providers still manage hiring by email. Calimala replaces that with a single, governed workspace where roles, shortlists, interviews, feedback, and offers are managed end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Calimala a SaaS platform?
No. Calimala is a managed service supported by an AI-native platform. You don’t buy licenses or configure software – you work with a dedicated Talent Partner who runs the engine for you, while the platform provides transparency, reporting, and control.
Do we have to use the platform to work with you?
No. If you prefer to run everything via email, calls, and your existing tools, your Talent Partner can coordinate the full process in the “old fashioned” way. The platform is an added layer of visibility and structure, not a dependency.
Can I log in and see real candidates before we commit?
Yes. You can create an account, explore sample pods and individual profiles, and see real anonymised candidates we have available across Data & AI roles. Once we’re engaged, you’ll see live pipelines tailored to your requirements.
What exactly will my team see in the platform?
Your team sees open roles, shortlists, candidate reports, interview stages, feedback, and commercial details such as day rates and availability. They do not see internal sourcing notes or sensitive data unrelated to your engagement.
Who are the people on your platform?
Our network is focused on Data & AI roles: data engineers, analytics engineers, ML/LLM ops, applied AI specialists, BI and analytics leads, as well as program and delivery managers around these domains. Most have experience in enterprise or high-growth environments, with a verified track record on projects similar to those we staff. We continuously curate and qualify this talent rather than operating an open marketplace.
Who is actually making the recommendations – AI or your Talent Partners?
AI does the heavy lifting on search, scoring, and pattern recognition; your Talent Partner makes the final call. Every shortlist is reviewed, challenged, and refined by a human who understands your context, culture, and constraints. The platform explains why someone is recommended, but your Talent Partner is accountable for the recommendations you see.
How do you handle security and data privacy?
We operate under strict confidentiality and data-protection standards. Candidate and client data is stored securely, access is role-based, and the platform keeps a full audit trail of activity.
