About

Hi! I'm building Perfectly, the first autonomous AI recruiter for high growth tech startups. We're trusted by Corgi, LlamaIndex, Mintlify and dozens others to run their recruiting process entirely with our agents, so their recruiters can focus on building relationships and closing candidates. The biggest issue with current AI recruiting tools is that they're misaligned with the unique recruiting process at each company. We custom fit our suite of solutions to automatically source, coordinate, and engage with candidates, while keeping recruiters in the loop. After doing 800 agency sourced interviews at TikTok, my cofounders and I realized we could apply the same algorithm expertise to recommend the ideal person for the job. My dream is to help companies and people unlock 1000x growth.
