Proof of Usefulness Report

Hitobito Pty Ltd

+17
Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hitobito Pty Ltd is a legitimate small-scale HR consultancy based in Western Australia, but it does not fit the criteria of a scalable technology project. The submission contains critical red flags, including invalid contact details and highly unrealistic claims of audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people have used my product'). There is no evidence of technical innovation or custom software, and the project operates as a standard service business. Consequently, it scores very low on the Proof of Usefulness scale for technology ventures.

Project Details

Description
We exist because we saw a serious need for specialist HR support for the WA hospitality industry. We want to work with WA based businesses to help them overcome their HR hurdles and create thriving spaces with brilliant teams. We have a passion for people and the role they play in the success of the hospitality industry. There is no other industry on earth where people are as critical to success as they are in hospitality. From the front of house, back of house, cleaners, and even suppliers – everyone is pivotal to the success of the business. Hitobito was established in 2020 (pretty much as C-19 hit) but our experience is years of an eclectic career mix that makes us understand business from all angles. We come from family business, from recruitment, from HR consulting, we know IT, we know marketing, and we understand the challenges of small business administration first-hand. We are passionate about great work. We don't take ourselves too seriously – we enjoy what we do – but one thing we never compromise on is the delivery of people-based initiatives that deliver financial returns and support the culture that makes your business unique.
