Problem
Traditional recruiting pipelines are slow and inefficient, taking six to twelve weeks to move from role brief to interview. Hiring managers waste time on low-signal sourcing and resume dumps, while top engineers get hired elsewhere before their profiles even reach the right companies.
Solution
Kasp operates a two-sided AI-native talent marketplace that connects elite engineers with AI startups and high-growth tech companies. For candidates, Kasp provides an AI career agent that matches skills and experience to relevant roles, culminating in Match Day—a 48-hour window where companies submit competing salary-backed offers. For companies, the AI recruiting agent Ellie sources, screens, and coordinates introductions from a pre-vetted network of 270K+ engineers, delivering a shortlist in under 48 hours. The platform combines autonomous AI sourcing with expert human recruiters to compress the hiring timeline from months to days while maintaining high candidate quality.
