AI recruiter running outbound talent sourcing campaigns
We have built a platform that uses AI to run outbound sourcing campaigns targeting top talent for any role. We maintain a database of 250 million+ people in the US and India with verified contact information. Our system sends personalized outreach at scale to generate response rates of 30-40%, making talent sourcing as simple as posting a job.
We are based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India and also operate remotely; we would continue to be based here after YC.
We picked Bengaluru because it is a major tech hub with access to talent and proximity to our key markets in India and the US. Being remote-friendly lets us tap the best talent regardless of location.
