Including your next VP of Finance

What More Applicant Volume Is Costing You Right Now:

High performers buried under early appliers who hit "submit" first

4+ months to fill key roles while competitors move in 6 weeks

Recruiters spending 70% of their time screening instead of closing

Legal blocking AI tools that send candidate data to third parties

The real issue: Your competitors aren't just hiring faster. They're building talent advantage that compounds every quarte

Every day you wait, they're pulling further ahead.

The OpenAI Problem

Every AI recruiting tool sends candidate PII to OpenAI or Anthropic APIs. That's why legal blocks them—regardless of SOC 2 certifications. We fine-tune open-source models inside your cloud. Nothing leaves your environment.
