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.

So we built Contrario to do exactly that. Check us out: https://www.contrario.ai/  

You import your open jobs, and Contrario will: 

• generate a curated JD with ideal profiles, companies, and more

• find and assign expert recruiters who already made similar hires

• surface high-quality talent interested in working at your company

• schedule interviews for you based on your availability

• and learn from feedback until we find the right candidate

So instead of a slow manual recruiting agency or paying for first-gen AI tools, you get an agentic platform that does everything for you.

A few outcomes: 

• An AI marketing startup hired their core engineering team of 4 in 15 days.

• A people data company hired 2 AEs and 2 operations people in <1 month.

• And 150+ candidates hired in <12 months since starting Contrario including @Wispr Flow

The future of recruiting is humans and agents working together as one. Contrario is leading this wave. 

Who is Contrario for?

Founders making hires. Engineering managers expanding the team. Heads of talent and in-house recruiters looking to grow the team. Anyone who has to hire but doesn't want manual processes and a lack of high-quality candidates to be a bottleneck.
