What we ship

Four agents.
One recruiting desk.

Each agent slots into your existing ATS, CRM, and messaging stack. Start with one. The retainer adds the rest — two per month, every month.
01 / SOURCE

Signal-based sourcer

finds people already looking

Monitors signals across LinkedIn, GitHub, public fundraising, layoff lists, visa boards — then surfaces candidates who fit your JD and are actively in motion.

  • Skill-match + signal-match scoring
  • Runs nightly, pushes to your ATS
  • Deduplicates against your history
typical lift
02 / QUALIFY

Pre-screening agent

public-signal enrichment + async intake

Scans public signals — tweets, posts, GitHub, prior employers, visa indicators — before a human ever opens the file. Then runs a structured intake on email, WhatsApp, or Telegram in your tone.

  • Public-signal enrichment → skill + eligibility
  • Salary, visa, notice, motivation captured
  • Structured notes posted back to your ATS

minutes, not hours
03 / SCREEN

10-min interviews · on demand

A Vapi-powered voice agent runs first-round screens. Structured questions, follow-ups, scoring rubric. Delivers recording + transcript + shortlist decision.

  • Calibrated to your rubric
  • Handles reschedules, time zones
  • Human review queue for edge cases

24/7, parallel
04 / REPORT

Client-reporting agent

weekly update, auto-drafted

Generates your client updates — shortlist summary, pipeline health, next steps. Tone-matched per account. You edit, send, ship.

  • Pulls from ATS + email + notes
  • Per-client tone & template memory
  • Draft-to-inbox in under 2 min

Concept · in build

The sourcing agent that
finds people already looking.

A live prototype of the sourcing agent we’re shipping. Signal-based — it surfaces candidates who are actively in motion before they post a resume.
Prototype · in buildSourcing agent

Cold reach-outs out.
Warm intros in.

Sourcers shouldn’t grind through LinkedIn all day. We’re shipping a signal-engine: it watches for people tagging “open to work”, posting about layoffs, leaving Series-B cap tables, or star-ing a job board. Each morning it delivers a ranked list — already deduped against prior outreach.

Reactivate your network
on WhatsApp & Telegram.

Your CRM is full of people you placed, pitched, or chatted with once. Our reactivation agent warms them back up — in your voice, on the channel they actually reply on. It respects rate limits, escalates interested replies to you, and kills the thread politely if they pass.

The FDE engagement

How we embed.
And keep shipping.

A Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) is one senior engineer from our team who embeds with your desk — understands your process, ships your agents, and iterates with you every week. One dedicated FDE, one backup. PM and success manager scale in as the engagement grows.
Week 1 · Understand

Your FDE shadows your desk.

We learn your process, your criteria, your voice. Not a deep audit — just enough to ship the right first agent instead of a generic one.

who's on it · 1 FDE · 1 success manager
Week 2 · Ship

First agent live on your data.

Fixed-price SOW. Your FDE builds on your real CSVs, ATS exports, and conversations. Mid-week demo. End-of-week deploy.

deliverable · first agent in prod · you own the code
Month 2+ · Operate

Retainer cadence. 2–4 new agents per month.

Your FDE lives in your Slack. Weekly review with your success manager. Existing agents tuned against real-world drift. You scale the desk without hiring.

cadence · weekly review · monthly ship
Scale · as needed

More than 2 agents in flight? A PM joins.

For larger engagements we add a product manager to coordinate, plus a second FDE if the roadmap warrants it. Same dedicated team — just deeper.

Hey — what's a repetitive task on your recruiting desk? One line is fine.
FAQ

Questions recruiters ask us.

Will this replace my recruiters?+

No. Every one of our agents is designed to eliminate a specific repetitive task — the grind work that makes recruiters want to quit. Your best recruiters do more placements. Your average recruiters look like your best ones.

Who owns the code?+

You do. On day 30, the repo transfers to your org with full documentation. The retainer is for continued shipping — not for holding your agents hostage.

What about GDPR / candidate data?+

Agents run on your infra with your model keys by default. We sign DPAs. We build redaction into every outbound channel. We can deploy model-local for EU desks if required.

Which ATS / tools do you integrate with?+

Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, Recruitee, Bullhorn, plus spreadsheets and custom SQL stores. WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Slack, Gmail, Outlook — if it has an API, we've wired it.

How is this different from off-the-shelf sourcing AI?+

Off-the-shelf tools are calibrated to generic signals. We build agents around your specific rubric, your tone, your client mix — and evolve them monthly as your desk learns. Your agent wouldn't work at a competitor.

Retainer lock-in?+

None. Month-to-month. Pause anytime. We'd rather earn the next month than trap you into twelve.

How do time zones work?+

Your FDE overlaps 4+ hours of your working day — whether you're in SF, NY, London, or Berlin. Daily standup lands in your morning; demos land in your afternoon.
