Problem
Traditional HR operations rely on fragmented, manual processes for payroll, compliance, and recruiting, leading to errors, rework, and slow decisions. Payroll calculations often require spreadsheets and manual data entry, creating compliance risks and audit headaches. Recruiting is bottlenecked by scheduling and interviewer availability, limiting the number of candidates that can be evaluated and creating inconsistent assessment standards.
Solution
Tako.ai delivers an AI-native HR operating system that automates the full employee journey, from hiring to offboarding. Tako Payroll & People Ops uses continuous AI calculation with deterministic real-time outputs and automatic eSocial integration, enabling payroll to close on its own without errors. Tako Recruiter introduces Nara, an AI video interviewer that conducts 24/7 conversations with every qualified candidate, producing standardized competency scorecards. Both products run on the same infrastructure, sharing data to cut rework and give control to HR, People Ops, and Finance teams.
Target Audience
Primary customers are HR, People Ops, and Finance teams at companies hiring and managing employees in Brazil, particularly those needing CLT-compliant payroll and scalable recruiting processes.
