Most recruiting agencies start with who they already know. Prism starts with who is actually best for the role. We search beyond existing networks, agency databases, and active job seekers to find high-fit candidates across the open talent market. Then we help engage them with speed, precision, and personalization, giving companies a faster way to reach the people they actually want to hire.
Prism
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Theo, co-founder of Prism. We're an AI-native recruiting agency, YC F25.
The pitch in one line
Tell us who you want to hire. We find them, engage them, and hand them to you ready to interview.
Why we exist
Hiring is a company killer. Everyone knows it. Choosing software, isn't the hardest part though. Really it's doing the work: actually sourcing, engaging, screening, calibrating, chasing, all while running everything else.
Most agencies are slow, expensive, and opaque. Most software dumps thousands of half-relevant profiles on you and calls it a day.
So we built our own AI tooling and we run the searches ourselves.
What we do
You brief us on a Slack channel. We source, engage, screen, and chase. You step in to interview and make the offer. The rest is on us.
🔵 The best people search in the world. Prism scores 89.6 on the PSB benchmark, 21+ points ahead of the strongest published baseline. That's the engine we use to find your hire. Read the paper at tryprism.com/papers/people-search-benchmark.pdf.
🔵 Reasoning, not just scores. Every shortlisted candidate comes with a transparent breakdown: where they meet the bar, where they don't, what's worth digging into.
🔵 No software for you to learn. We do the work. You review the shortlist.
Pricing
$500 retainer to kick off the search. 15% of first-year salary when we place someone.
🚀 PH launch offer: Book a call through our website in the first 7 days and we'll waive the retainer. You only pay if we find you a hire.
Ask
Honest feedback please, especially from anyone hiring now or who's been burned by an agency before. Drop a comment or DM me.
P.S. for candidates
Looking for your next role? You can sign up too. Have one conversation with Ray, our AI career advisor, and we'll match you with companies hiring people exactly like you. Free, takes a few minutes.

as someone who has been burned by "black box" agencies that just spam linkedin, the transparent breakdown for every candidate is huge. knowing why you think they're a fit (and where they might fall short) makes the calibration process way faster. @theokitsberg
Interesting approach to hiring. AI-assisted recruitment tools have a specific compliance layer in the US around EEOC and adverse impact analysis. Worth building that into your Terms early before an enterprise HR buyer asks. Good luck with the launch :)

Congrats on the launch. My first startup was in HRTech, so I know that a lot of great candidates never even enter traditional recruiting pipelines, so this feels genuinely valuable for both companies and talent.
