Paul Chan in The Australian: From dishwasher to AI trailblazer
Decidr’s founder is front and centre in a national conversation about the future of work in The Australian.

We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to shape them.
Our founder and CEO Paul Chan, was featured in a powerful profile, which you can find in The Australian that captures what Decidr is all about: bold ideas, smart systems and fearless execution.
Agentic AI is changing business forever
Forget hype. This is real transformation.
Agentic AI is already rewriting the rules of recruitment, corporate learning, and customer experience. Paul points this out directly: tasks that once belonged solely to people can now be performed with people and AI working side by side.
Our partnership with CareerOne proves what’s possible when that happens:
- Applicant-to-employer match rates have increased 8x
- Over 500,000 applications processed and counting
- A 65% jump in eligible employers matched to new candidates
This is decision intelligence in action.

Scaling smart solutions that serve people
The story also highlights how Decidr is delivering real outcomes through partnerships with leaders like Amazon Web Services and Edible Beauty.
Our AI-powered chatbot Ava has driven a 50% increase in orders via chat. And we’re only getting started.
We’re launching tools that don’t just support hiring, they help businesses deeply understand what people do best, and where they create the most value. Then we scale that. Fast.
As Paul says, “We’re helping businesses redefine not just how they hire, but how they work.”
Built from lived experience
Paul’s story is more than impressive - it’s human. From growing up mixed race in 1980s Sydney, to working in his family’s Chinatown restaurant from the age of 13, he learned early what it means to work hard, think deeply and lead with purpose.
This perspective runs through everything we build at Decidr. It’s why our platform is designed to help people and businesses make better decisions, faster.
