HireKey helps job seekers decide which roles are worth pursuing, communicate their real experience clearly, and prepare for interviews. It brings role-fit analysis, resume tailoring, interview practice, and application tracking into one connected job search.


Meet the founders

HireKey was founded by Nela Davis and Lance Davis Jr.

Nela Davis, Co-founder

Nela spent 10 years in tech recruiting, including experience at Microsoft, Amazon, and Stripe. She developed HireKey’s recruiter-informed methodology around the evidence recruiters look for: relevant experience, level and scope, individual contribution, and genuine qualification gaps. Connect with Nela on LinkedIn.

Lance Davis Jr., Co-founder

Lance brings a background in sales to the work of building a more practical job-search experience. Connect with Lance on LinkedIn.

Our approach is straightforward: help candidates make better decisions and explain what they have actually done. HireKey can clarify experience and support preparation, but it cannot create qualifications or promise an employer’s decision.

Make your next move with confidence.
