SmartShrubs is Josh Machines' people-intelligence and HR-AI portfolio — engineered with enterprise-grade governance from day one, and backed by more than a decade of solving hard technology problems for real businesses.
To give HR the same standard of evidence and business credibility that finance and operations already take for granted — without asking any company to give up control of its own data.
A future where HR moves from dashboards to decisions — where AI is a strategic co-pilot to every HR leader, never a replacement for their judgment.
SmartShrubs is Josh Machines' licensed intelligence portfolio — bringing whatever is missing in your company's talent intelligence stack, built exactly how you want it, in your own technology environment. It's engineered with enterprise-grade security and governance from day one, hosted entirely on infrastructure you own, with no dependency on third-party AI APIs.
