Hey everybody! We’re Alan and Albert, and we built Serra to speed up time- and increase quality-of-hire for founders and recruiters. We reached out to dozens of founders at Series A and B YC companies and found that hiring the right people, faster, was a recurring painpoint.
❌ Problem:
Hiring requires sorting through hundreds of resumes, reaching out to dozens of candidates, and buying expensive search licenses that still rely on outdated keyword matching. Candidates can game ATS filters by stuffing their profiles with keywords. This wastes months of time and money, often leading to poor hires and this cycle repeating itself.
✅ Solution:
Serra is a vector-based search engine that focuses on understanding the context of each profile. It delivers more accurate matches based on what you actually asked for rather than relying on exact keyword matches. Serra utilizes LLMs to rank and research millions of candidates simultaneously.
Serra fact-checks what candidates put on their profiles—if a candidate claims they have experience in training and deploying machine learning models in production, Serra checks GitHub for tangible evidence.
Serra can also hook up directly to your ATS, allowing you to apply the same search benefits to candidates inside of it.
