Platypus: Recruit More, Co-ordinate Less.

Hey everyone, I'm Ayan, the Co-founder of Platypus. Over the past few months, I've been researching the recruitment industry and speaking with recruiters to understand the challenges they face every day. One problem kept appearing everywhere I looked—ATS reviews, LinkedIn discussions, Reddit threads, and recruiter communities. Recruiters told the same story: they spend too much time managing follow-ups, updating multiple systems, coordinating stakeholders, chasing feedback, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Many felt they were spending more time managing the process than actually recruiting. That's what inspired Platypus. Platypus is a workflow coordination platform for boutique and agency recruiters. Instead of replacing tools like Bullhorn, Loxo, RecruitFlow, Gmail, or LinkedIn, Platypus sits on top of them, bringing activity into one place and helping automate routine coordination work. We're still early, and this launch is as much about learning as it is about sharing what we're building. If you're a recruiter, agency owner, or someone who works in talent acquisition, I'd love to hear your thoughts: What's the most frustrating part of managing your recruitment workflow today? Thanks for checking out Platypus. Every piece of feedback helps shape what we build next.
