Paul Bilodeau is the CEO and founder of Filtered, a capabilities-based hiring platform designed specifically for engineers, developers, and tech talent, that helps to remove unconscious bias from the hiring process through assessments and coding tasks. Paul started his professional career as a recruiter for a leading recruitment firm in Boston. It wasn’t long before he identified major disconnects and inefficiencies when it came to the hiring process, so in 2010 he created PangeaConnect, a video interviewing platform. Soon after, he co-founded a data science consulting company refactorED, and built Filtered as an internal tool to ensure candidate authentication and more accurately assess candidates’ technical skills. In 2018, the demand to license Filtered as a standalone product led to the establishment of Filtered, Inc. and the continued drive to radically change the hiring process.
