The problem
Hiring still runs on hidden criteria.
Pattern-matched CVs. Quiet networks. Filters no one can see. The women losing the most are the ones who’d be best at the job.
- 67%of women say they don't apply because they don't meet every requirement on paper.
- 1 in 4report being filtered out of roles before a human ever reads their CV.
- 0platforms today show you why you matched, why you didn't, and how to close the gap.
The manifesto
We’re building the job market we wish existed.
Women don’t need another platform that ranks them on keywords. They need a system that reads what they’ve actually done — the projects shipped, the teams led, the outcomes proven — and shows them, in plain language, why each role fits.
Lyra is that system. One transparent algorithm. Four visible scores. Free training tied to the exact roles you want. Anonymous by default. Yours to read.
If hiring is going to be done by AI, the AI has to be accountable. Ours is.
How it works
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
Like dating apps for jobs — but the algorithm shows its working. You see what it sees, and you can change the score.
- 01
Upload your story
Drop in a CV or talk us through your experience. We extract every skill, project, and outcome — your story, structured.

Transparency & fairness
You can read the whole algorithm.
Every score has a reason. Every reason is in plain English. If we can’t explain why something hurt your match, it doesn’t count toward your match.
