Serra is a GPT-powered search engine for recruiters. Instead of manually selecting keywords and reviewing candidates one by one, recruiters can search in plain English and instantly see the best matches, with all their research done for them.

Hi everyone, Alan from Serra here! Excited & nervous to launch haha! āœ… Our goal at Serra is to make it easy to find better, more relevant candidates immediately through natural language search. We accomplish this by building a vector-based search engine on top of ~1 billion candidates across LinkedIn, Indeed, and Github. šŸ” A search works in 3 steps: 1. Type who you're looking for. This can be as simple as "show me people that sell to SMBs" or as complicated as "Find senior data scientists in SF with expertise in ML, Python, and R in a healthcare setting, and have STEM degrees from the top 10 engineering programs in the US"! 2. Check the generated keyword filters. You can edit fields ranging from "Past Job Titles" to "Funding Stage" or rely on the ones Serra generates out of the box. 3. Sit back and let Serra do the rest! We take your search parameters, display the results, and rank them in terms of best fit. We also surface summaries for each profile and why they showed up in your search. šŸ“£ For the free options, we're doing 2 free searches limited to ~40 results each, and no email contact info. We're early and iterating daily, so please do let us know any and all feedback! If you're interested to find out more about the premium version, book a demo with us at https://calendar.app.google/5CkC...!

@alan_wang5 Congrats on this launch. Impressive solution for hiring!
@alan_wang5 Well done on the launch! Wishing you continued success and growth. How did you come up with the idea?

Looks really promising! Great job team. A quick question: does it also prioritize people who are looking out for a job "Open to work". I understand most of the people who are not actively looking out for something might increase the bounce/no-show rates. Nonetheless, great product, excited to see it doing wonders!

@prad_vv Thanks Pradhumn! We're working on an open to work filter that will be out by next week - super great points.

@viktor_surkov Thank you! We're doing a combination of a few third-party data providers as well as having our own streaming pipelines set up to augment that data.

1. How does Serra handle niche industries or very specific roles? 2. Do you train custom models for different sectors?
Alan Wang
Maker
@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo, we've seen Serra handle niche industries wellā€”for example, a customer is using us to find pricing merchandises that specifically only have luggage experience! At the moment we don't train custom models for different sectors, but we've incorporated a feedback-loop where you can thumbs up or down a result and the searches will learn over time!

Serra seems very promising to improve HR daily work, congrats ! Do you plan to expand to other languages ?
Alan Wang

@brijs Hey Brij! At the moment we're focusing on English, but definitely have it on our roadmap.
Allen Chen
I truly believe in the approach that Serra is going with Talent Search. All the knowhow and data feedback are built into AI that distills intelligence from mass data and let human to decide and act. This is also how we are building Influencer Search.
