    The exit

    With the exits complete, the founders set out to learn everything there was to learn about AI, automation, and intelligent sourcing in recruitment.

    2022–2024

    Deep research & development

    Years spent studying machine learning, workflow automation, and modern sourcing stacks — testing what actually works and what is just noise.
