Reach out directly about this role
Kostya Gorsky, CEO Former Senior Design Manager at Intercom where he shipped AI-powered products. Former Head of Design at Yandex (100M+ users). Deep experience in product strategy and taking products from zero to scale.
Mariam Prazyan, CPO Former Head of Talent at Pivot where she built the talent function from scratch, scaled hiring across three continents. Runs a boutique recruitment agency (that we use as a live lab to test product ideas). Our target user persona building the product.
The two co-founders spent years deep in the recruitment space — running a recruiting agency, building and shipping product, and iterating with real customers.
Also on the team: Slava Panasovets, Founding Engineer (part-time) Software Engineer at Google and Google Labs. Core contributor to Kubernetes infrastructure (GKE Ingress controller, main K8s repo — 121K+ stars). Built hirehire's AI pipeline from scratch. ACM/ICPC participant. Slava remains part-time for personal reasons — he built the technical foundation and continues to contribute, but we need a full-time technical leader to own the architecture and scale the engineering team.
Hiring is super important but still very manual and slow.
Every interview generates dozens of signals (technical depth, communication, problem-solving instinct, cultural fit) and then 90% of that signal is lost. The interviewer jots down a few bullets. The debrief is "I liked them." A $200K decision often gets made on intuition alone.
We fix this.
hirehire is an AI-native system that:
captures every signal in recruitment (job descriptions, CVs, interview transcripts, interviewer impressions etc.),
turns it into structured, queryable data
performs actions (sourcing, scoring, communication)
Think Claud Code for recruitment. Or maybe even Open Claw if you’re brave.
An intelligence and agentic platform that performs interviewer calibration, bias detection, funnel analytics, sourcing agents, outreach automation, AI pre-screening — all powered by the structured data layer we're already accumulating.
hirehire.ai is an AI note-taker that joins interviews, generates transcripts, and uses additional context (CV, Job description) to produce draft evaluation scores against each role's competency matrix.
We’re proud to achieve some results with no external funding:
90,000+ structured interviews processed across our customer base
Hundreds of paying users with almost zero churn — teams that adopt hirehire.ai, expand over time, and don't leave
Our customers include
ETG: series F travel-tech company (4,000 employees, 180 countries),
Tabby: Series E fintech ($4.5B valuation, 20M+ users),
Finom: Series C European fintech (400+ employees)
and many other great companies.
The notetaker proved we can build, ship, and sell. It also proved that the notetaker category alone is a commodity. The real opportunity is the intelligence and agentic layers that sit on top of structured data — and to build them, we need a full-time technical leader who will own the architecture, the roadmap, and the engineering team.
We’re planning to raise the pre-seed in the short term.
It is a boutique recruitment agency with narrow focus: product & design talent for companies shipping AI.
We don’t have recruiters: at hirehire agency, Product and Design leaders from Meta, Intercom, Stripe, Revolut, and other top companies act as “recruiters”.
Our clients are companies building the future — from YC startups to large AI companies: JetBrains, Manychat, Capital.com, Replika, Recraft, Pleo, TripleTen, and many others.
The lab is our playground where we experiment with AI in recruitment in all sorts of ways. And it helps stay deeply connected with the processes and industry.
