Close deals faster
Share candidates with hiring managers via zero-login portals. Chat in real-time.
The problem space
Inbox Neglect
Your candidate summaries sit in hiring managers' inboxes for days. They're busy. Email is where deals go to die.
Login Friction
Every ATS requires accounts, demos, onboarding calls. By the time they're set up, the candidate accepted somewhere else.
Lost Context
Feedback happens in Slack, email, phone calls, sticky notes. None of it is captured. None of it is searchable. None of it feeds back into the next search.
Repetition Loop
Candidates get rejected. No one remembers why. The same mistakes repeat. The same archetypes get overlooked. There's no system of record for the reasoning.
How it works
Three channels
one widget
INBOX
No email chains. No Slack threads. Every message tied to the role, searchable forever.
Intelligence layer
Every decision is captured, reasoned, and fed back into the next search.
Match analysis
AI scores every candidate against the role with reasoning you can share or challenge.
Decision memory
Every approve, reject, and shortlist is logged with why. Never lose context again.
Strategy assistant
Ask the AI about your pipeline. It remembers every decision and reasons forward.
Pattern recognition
Spot which candidates succeed, which stall, and where your process breaks.
Candidate has led design systems at 2 scale-ups. Strong overlap with role requirements for B2B SaaS. Minor gap in enterprise stakeholder management — manageable with onboarding.
