After 10 years running a recruitment agency, I decided it was time to revolutionize the way recruitment was done. Currently, recruiters spend up to 60% of their time on robotic sourcing tasks: boolean queries, reviewing resumes one by one, finding contact details, and reaching out manually. That is why I founded Visage: an AI-based crowdSOURCING platform that delivers qualified and interested candidates to your recruiters by building passive candidate pipelines and automating multi-channel engagement (email, LinkedIN, text, and ads).Built for busy recruiters who don’t have time to waste building boolean searches and reviewing resumes, Visage automates manual tasks so you can focus on chasing the best candidates and interviewing. Just submit your job requirements and Visage delivers qualified candidates in just 24 hours. Use our Automated multichannel outreach to get the attention of these hard to engage candidates.

Hopward aims to democratize the talent acquisition process by automating various steps, much like how an iPhone camera automates photographic settings. The goal is to make the recruiting process accessible and effective for anyone, not just specialized recruiters. By utilizing pre-set algorithms and workflows, Hopward minimizes the need for manual adjustments and expertise, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for effective hiring.Hopward is particularly useful for smaller teams or departments in large enterprises who may not have dedicated talent acquisition specialists but still need to make important hires. Its user-friendly interface and streamlined process allow for efficient candidate sourcing and tracking. It essentially "takes care of the settings for you," ensuring a smooth hiring process with minimal manual input.In a sense, Hopward offers an "on-demand" model for talent acquisition, providing high-quality results without requiring specialized skills or in-depth industry knowledge from the user. This makes it a versatile tool that can serve a wide array of organizational needs.
