Purpose-built for Canada’s Public Service
Helping the Government of Canada
Hire and Develop Talent Ethically and Efficiently
A trusted, Canadian-built platform that supports public service values, equity goals,
and responsible innovation in hiring and development.
Knockri was founded in 2017 with a clear mission: to support fair and inclusive hiring by helping organizations focus on what truly matters: skills, not backgrounds. As a proudly Canadian company, we’ve worked with public sector partners from the start, including the Department of National Defence (DND), Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC), Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS), and the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS). Hence, we understand the high standards federal departments must meet when it comes to privacy, equity, and accountability.
Shaped by canadian values
With Knockri, departments can build inclusive, high-performing teams while honouring the trust placed in them by the public. Our platform is designed to help departments evaluate and develop talent in a way that reflects the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Sector. Using structured, evidence-based assessments, we support fair, merit-based decisions by focusing on how candidates demonstrate role-relevant behaviours. By reducing bias at the earliest stages of hiring, we help ensure every candidate is treated with fairness and dignity, and given an equal opportunity to succeed. This approach not only helps remove barriers for equity-deserving groups but is also reflective of the public service’s responsibility to Canadians.
Built for the public sector
Trust, transparency, and accountability are the foundation of responsible innovation in government and are also at the core of Knockri’s solution.
Knockri successfully completed both the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, reinforcing its alignment with Canada’s commitment to ethical and transparent AI use. These assessments ensure that our solutions meet the highest standards of data protection and responsible automation under the Government of Canada’s Directive on Automated Decision-Making. For public institutions, this means that Knockri can be implemented confidently, supporting modernization goals while upholding the trust Canadians place in their government.
Endorsed and Adopted by Leading Federal Organizations
Through partnerships with organizations such as DND, TBS, ISED, and IAAC, Knockri is helping advance workforce development and skill-based growth within the public sector.
We’re also proud to be supporting future-ready talent development. Our practice interview experience is now available through the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS), giving public servants and jobseekers the opportunity to build interview skills through Knockri’s science-backed simulations.
Streamlined Access through Procurement channels
We’ve made it easier for departments to work with us through approved Government of Canada procurement vehicles. This streamlines the onboarding process, eliminates administrative barriers, and ensures fast access to our technology whether you’re running a high-volume campaign or piloting new tools.
Beyond Hiring: Supporting Workforce Growth
Knockri doesn’t just support who you hire — we support how you grow. Our platform identifies skill gaps at scale and provides personalized, science-backed development opportunities for every employee. Using our patented AI, we deliver role-specific feedback based on how individuals perform on real, job-related tasks — giving your team a roadmap for continuous growth. This is especially valuable in today’s evolving public service, where upskilling, reskilling, and internal mobility are key to building a future-ready workforce.
