Built in London by two brothers

We’re Ryan and Connor — brothers from London who know what it’s like to send out hundreds of applications and hear nothing back.

We discovered that the problem wasn’t talent — it was technology. Most CVs never reach a human. So we built Aspirely AI to change that.

What started as a side project to understand how recruiters read CVs became something much bigger — a mission to make hiring fair, transparent, and human again.

“We built Aspirely AI to help people move faster, fairer, and further.”

Mission

To open doors that hiring systems close.

Our mission

Technology that opens doors — never closes them.

To build technology that opens doors — not closes them.

To help people be seen for who they really are.

And to make sure talent, not software, decides who gets hired.

Meet the brothers

Different backgrounds. Same mission: make hiring warmer, fairer, and far more transparent.

Ryan Gallagher

Co-founder & CTO

After 200 rejections, I realised the problem wasn't my skills — it was how they were presented.

Connor Gallagher

Former recruitment consultant focused on inclusive hiring and human storytelling.

Applied to 500+ jobs in 2022 and collected every lesson so you don't have to.
