Predict job applicant performance for entry-level support roles

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

We build pre-employment assessments that simulate the work applicants will actually do on the job in entry-level customer support roles. Our product lets employers predict how well candidates will perform before hiring, improving the hiring process for frontline support staff.

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

We live in San Francisco and operate with a partly remote team. After YC, the company will remain based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us access to a strong tech talent pool and potential early customers in B2B SaaS recruiting, while remote lets us tap into skilled team members outside the city.
