Why we exist

We believe HR has the power to transform organizations and lives—and AI gives HR leaders the leverage to make that vision a reality.

We built Wisq to help HR do the best work of their lives.

HR teams spend too much of their day answering the same questions and processing repetitive requests. Harper, the AI HR teammate, takes on that work so HR can give more time to the people they support.

Our Founders

Jim Barnett and Chih-Po Wen founded Wisq. Jim was CEO and Co-founder of Glint, the employee engagement platform. Jim has spent two decades at the intersection of HR and technology, and his personal mission is to help people be happy and successful at work. As CTO of Glint, Chih-Po Wen built Glint's engineering organization, scaling Glint into an industry-leading platform before its acquisition by LinkedIn. Together, they founded Wisq to build the definitive AI platform for HR.

“Wisq is building for what’s next in HR: a hybrid of frontier AI and human ingenuity that transforms organizations. By partnering with Wisq, your HR team can create the space and capacity to achieve their greatest work ever.”
