The company was founded by two industry veterans in the industry, Shiva Maran, who is a subject matter expert in the field of technology and Arbind Joseph M who has headed and managed large recruiting teams for a couple of Billion dollar companies. Both founders have been in their respective industries for over 30 years now.

We started in 2015 with the idea of making a difference in the way recruitment is done. The goal was to leverage intelligence and automation in recruitment. When we started we did not have an idea of what the end product would look like. The first couple of years was spent in finding the right product market fit, in addition to building the core technology of an intelligent profile search and matching engine.

The founding team has decades of hands-on experience in staffing and recruitment and understand the conundrums faced by Recruiters and employers. We knew there was a need for a simple yet powerful solution that would facilitate and empower Recruiters do a better and more meaningful job. Recruitment Assistant was birthed to provide better resolution to these issues and create measurable impact to the entire recruitment life cycle.

The products are designed to be self-explanatory, simplistic and efficient. The goal is to infuse automation and intelligence at every step in the Recruiting Life-Cycle.

To begin with, we obsessed with the first step in the Recruiting Process, which is the most time consuming task for a Recruiter – Sourcing – and decided to automate it. 70% of a recruiter’s time is spent just searching and sourcing resumes, often boring and mundane tasks leading to errors, inefficiency and missed opportunities.

There’s significant throughput just to close one position. Recruiters don’t have sufficient bandwidth to keep pace with the latest tools and technologies. The solution is to constantly train Recruiters on new technologies and team restructuring. All of this impacts margins, quality and is not a scalable strategy.
