Tech executives Raghavendra Prabhu and Jason James have developed the world's first AI recruiter.
Tezi has built the first AI-powered recruiting agent, Max, to help recruiters and hiring managers looking to supercharge their recruitment process. We all know the adage: team work makes the dream work. While it may be cliché, no one can deny how true of a statement it is. It's even more impossible to refute when you've experienced firsthand how difficult it is to actually get that team together, never mind getting them to then work towards a common company objective.
While selecting hires to build that team is all down to hiring managers and company executives, Max will make sure you screen the candidates that much faster, that your recruitment process is significantly more effective and, ultimately, impactful.
Although some people have been apprehensive about artificial intelligence taking over jobs, Tezi is helping individuals land that perfect job rapidly through the power of AI. For companies, whether it be an up and coming startup or an established enterprise, Tezi is empowering organizations with the ability to bring that dream team together more efficiently and much more cost-effectively.
Founded by Raghavendra Prabhu and Jason James, Tezi is the brainchild of two Silicon Valley veterans. Prabhu explains, "Tezi is an Autonomous AI trained by the industry's top hiring managers and recruiters to run the recruiting process by eliminating all the rote, manual work." James expounds on this, sharing, "Tezi proactively sources, schedules, screens, and manages crucial milestones along the way, leading a company all the way from job opening to offer."
As long-time tech executives, Prabhu and James have been part of the recruiting process at the world's best companies for decades. They simultaneously studied and analyzed those very processes. "Tezi is not just a piece of software you open to source candidates," Prabhu emphasizes. "Our AI agent, Max, completes work and follows the best practices throughout your recruiting process. It will proactively reach out during key points for a decision so candidates can keep moving along quickly."
Max isn't just lending recruiters or hiring managers a helping hand, it's actually able to lift a heavy weight off their shoulders as it takes over time-consuming processes. Instead of doing the tedious tasks of finding candidates, reviewing applications, and scheduling interviews, companies can leave those to Max while they focus on the more important responsibility of actually meeting and speaking with potential hires.
The founding duo is especially qualified to establish Tezi and to bring Max to AI-powered life. They've not only had a front seat to modern day hiring challenges, Prabhu and James themselves have hired well over 600 engineers, product managers, and designers. Combined, the co-founders bring more than 40 years of experience at the helm of engineering, design, and product for companies, including Instacart, Thumbtack, Pinterest, and Covariant. Prior to their leadership roles, the earlier days of their careers were spent working within the campuses of Google, Microsoft, Twitter, and Intercom. They clearly know what it takes and who is needed to build and scale companies.
In the past, companies were limited to two options. They could pay for an agency that may not fully understand the company's needs, let alone its culture, and whose objectives may be misaligned from the onset. From there, companies only had one other alternative. They could hire an expensive in-house team that's difficult to scale up or down, depending on the company's own shifting demands. Having been at the thick of it, both Prabhu and James saw a clear opportunity for AI to not only improve but to drastically optimize the entire hiring process for the massive benefit of employers and applicants alike.
Being available to every hiring manager for every role and operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there's no question that Max has the capacity that a human recruiter could never have. "Max can do the job of a 10+ person recruiting team. And it's all at a fraction of the cost of an in-house team or agency," Prabhu says, explaining the value of Max to companies. "Most importantly, through Max, Tezi will return thousands of people hours back to businesses across the U.S. - time better spent growing and achieving their missions."
In the US, a company spends approximately $4,700 on average to recruit a hire. That expenditure is even greater for high-demand STEM fields, with a company spending anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000 to sign a single engineer. As costly as that is, what can be even costlier for companies is the actual time spent and the opportunity cost during prolonged hiring processes, when hiring managers are inundated with applicants for multiple vacancies, and when the company loses talent to its competitors. As James says, "Recruiting is essential for growth and seemingly always in the way of it."
"Our vision is to not only help businesses scale faster by hiring the best talent but also, to help top candidates find their next opportunity. We believe every hiring manager in every company globally deserves access to an excellent recruiting partner, so we plan to grow beyond the tech vertical into adjacent verticals, as well as expand to serve companies internationally," the co-founders share. One thing's for certain. Prabhu and James will have no problem quickly hiring the best team to work with them in realizing their vision for Tezi and making Max accessible to companies all over the world.
