Hello
I’m Darren Thompson, a brand strategist, recruiter ally, and the founder of WizziRole. After years of leading marketing and growth for brands across automotive, tech, and consumer sectors, I grew frustrated watching great candidates get lost in flawed hiring systems, and overwhelmed recruiters struggle to cut through the noise.
​
WizziRole was born from that frustration. I wanted to create a smarter way to hire; one that’s fairer, faster, and built for how people really work today. With a mix of AI, behavioural insights, and UX that puts humans first, WizziRole is my way of helping recruiters and candidates find a real fit, not just keyword matches.
​​
This site is where you’ll see that vision come to life. Whether you're here to shape the future of hiring with us, test out our platform, or just stay in the loop, welcome.
I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities. Let's connect.
My Story
WizziRole didn’t start as a business idea. It began as a frustration.
​
After years in senior marketing roles, hiring across sectors and continents, I kept running into the same problem: the recruitment process wasn’t working, not for candidates, not for recruiters, and definitely not for employers trying to build great teams. Good people were being missed, and good recruiters were drowning in noise.
​
At some point, I stopped just complaining about it and started sketching solutions.
What began as scribbles and spreadsheets grew into a vision for something much bigger, a platform that blends AI with human insight, helping companies hire better and individuals show up as more than just a CV.
​
That’s the core of WizziRole: rethinking hiring so it’s faster, fairer, and fit for the way we work now. This isn’t just a product for me. It’s personal. I’ve lived the challenges from both sides, and I’m building WizziRole to fix them.
