VIVAHR’s Story from Gilbert, Arizona
Not every HR tech company starts in Silicon Valley. VIVAHR was founded in Gilbert, Arizona, with a mission to make hiring easier for SMBs. Many applicant tracking systems focus on enterprise-level complexity, but VIVAHR was built for real-world hiring challenges: small teams, tight budgets, and a need for speed.
From day one, the focus was on simplicity, automation, and results.
Founder and Leadership Profile
VIVAHR was founded by Ryan Naylor, a serial entrepreneur with a background in business operations and marketing. After helping thousands of companies grow through digital marketing, Naylor saw the disconnect between how companies wanted to hire and the clunky systems they were forced to use.
So he created something better, an ATS that was:
- Easy to use
- Quick to implement
- Designed for teams without big HR departments
Under Naylor’s leadership, VIVAHR grew quickly and built a reputation for being both powerful and practical. Today, it supports thousands of companies and continues to focus on giving businesses tools that scale as they grow.
