What Asendia AI does

Asendia AI replaces the top-of-funnel recruiter. Our AI agents clone each agency's best human recruiter: their knowledge base, screening logic, outreach style, and judgment, then run the full workflow across phone, SMS, WhatsApp, and email, 24/7. A req comes in; by the time a recruiter sits down, Asendia has already sourced, screened, and drafted submittals. Staffing is a $200B+ industry where speed is the entire margin.

AI recruiters for staffing agencies

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build AI recruiter agents that replicate each staffing agency's best human recruiter. Our AI clones their knowledge, screening logic, outreach style, and decision-making, then runs the full sourcing and screening across phone, SMS, WhatsApp, and email nonstop. When a job requisition arrives, the AI has already sourced candidates and drafted submittals before a human recruiter even logs in.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in San Francisco because it's where we live and where the staffing and AI tech ecosystem connect. Being here lets us talk directly to agencies and recruiters and build the product iteratively with users.
