We think hiring should fit in one sentence.
Rafaelo is the agentic hiring OS. We are 92 people in Berlin, New York and everywhere in between, building the thing we wished we had when we were recruiters.

Four beliefs.
The agent prepares, explains and asks. People approve what is irreversible. We build for judgement, not replacement.
Every score has evidence, every action has a log. If we cannot say why something happened, we do not ship it.
Fast replies, honest feedback, clear consent. Hiring is someone's life, not a funnel.
We would rather put a boring, correct step in front of customers this week than a clever one next quarter.

The people behind it.
Engineering, product and research. Where we started.
Go-to-market and customer success.
A third of us work from home, and everything is written down.
Come build it
with us.
We are hiring across engineering, design, go-to-market and operations. And yes, we use Rafaelo to do it.
