The AI-powered talent management platform redefining how organizations understand and grow their workforce has been awarded a Bronze in the New Product of the Year, AI category at the 2025 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence.
Presented by the same organization behind the prestigious International Business Awards, the Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence recognize the world's most innovative technology solutions and teams. In the New AI Product of the Year bronze category, Professional.me is joined by global leaders such as Red Hat, Dun & Bradstreet, eBay, and SearchUnify, placing the company among a distinguished cohort of global tech innovators.
Judges described Professional.me as "a category-defining innovation" with "genuine technical depth," built on a proprietary AI infrastructure that challenges long-standing limitations of resume parsing, keyword filtering, and siloed HR tools. One judge called the platform one of the most complete and impactful uses of AI they had seen, while another praised its commitment to fairness, noting:
"They've paid attention to accuracy and context, which matters a lot in hiring data. Particularly noteworthy is the platform's attention to reducing bias and increasing fairness."
"We built Professional.me to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in hiring: the disconnect between potential and opportunity. This award validates our belief that technology can help close that gap, globally, at scale," said Ryan Adams, CEO of Professional.me.
