To make frontline hiring faster, fairer, and more human.
Lily was founded because frontline hiring was broken. Too slow. Too expensive. Too dehumanising for the very people these sectors depend on. We set out to fix that.
Fix the hiring process frontline employers deserve.
Frontline industries keep essential services running — care, facilities, construction and more. Yet they're chronically understaffed, partly because the hiring process is broken. Applications disappear into black holes. Compliance slows things to a crawl. Good candidates take other jobs. Lily exists to change all of that — one hire at a time.
A frontline sector where every vacancy is filled with the right person.
We envision a future where frontline employers never struggle to hire — because the right candidates find them easily, move through a respectful process quickly, and are set up to succeed from day one. Technology handles the workload. Humans make the decisions.
Why we built Lily.
Our founders spent years working with care providers, watching the same problems play out over and over.
Recruitment teams overwhelmed by hundreds of applications with no time to respond to each one. Compliance processes that took weeks. Good candidates lost to competitors because screening took too long.
And at the other end: care workers applying for jobs and never hearing back. Professionals who had committed to one of the most demanding sectors in the economy, treated as if they didn't matter. That felt wrong.
We believed technology could solve all of this — not by replacing human judgement, but by doing the heavy lifting so humans could focus on what actually matters: getting the right people into the right roles, quickly and fairly.
That's Lily. Built for frontline employers, by people who understand them.
Our values.
Candidate First
Every design decision starts with: how does this feel for the candidate? Good hiring experiences benefit everyone — providers, teams, and the people they care for.
Speed with Care
Faster hiring doesn't mean cutting corners. It means removing the delays that don't serve anyone — the chasing, the admin, the waiting. What matters still gets proper attention.
Radical Transparency
No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. No vague promises. We tell you exactly what Lily does, what it costs, and what you can expect from it.
Earned Trust
We're in a sector where trust isn't given — it's earned. We earn ours through consistent results, honest conversations, and never overpromising.
