AI recruiting tool for hiring teams
We are building an AI recruiter that uses custom machine learning models to deeply understand what a company wants in a role, find candidates that fit, and send them personalized introductions. This helps hiring managers get a steady stream of candidates they actually want to talk to.
We live in San Francisco, CA and the company would remain based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we want to be because it's the center for tech talent and early customers, and where our recruiting clients are.
