About

I'm building toward a future where every great hire feels inevitable. We build reliable AI agents at Contrario so our recruiters can spend more time where they're most powerful: finding the best talent and talking to them. A bit more about me: I've been building businesses since I was 15. Bootstrapped my first startup to six-figures ARR. Throughout high school, I spent my weekends attending business pitch competitions, scaling my startup, and teaching myself golf. At Stanford I switched my major ~20 times, joined every club I could (ASES, BASES, Cardinal Ventures, etc.) and spent my summers working at a golf-tech startup in Latvia and BCG. Now working on Contrario.

Recruiting tools won't get you the hire - here's why

Hey Product Hunt! Arya here, Co-Founder & CEO of @Contrario . We're live today!

My team and I have spent the last 18 months building Contrario in the recruiting space. What s happening now is that SaaS and AI recruiting tools are everywhere, with people claiming they have proprietary tech that can help you find the most cracked talent.  

What people do not tell you is that even the best recruiting tools can t guarantee that strong talent will reply and interview at your company. That is just not how it works. After working with 200+ businesses and going through YC, what we learned is that the real way to win talent is the best expert recruiters working for you curating targeted outreach messages, doubling down on what's working, and selling the company's vision in every interview.
