Vora AI

TL;DR: Vora gives hiring managers an AI recruiter. Our AI agent identifies, engages, and books meetings with top talent that actually respond — so hiring managers don’t have to spend hours sourcing.

🚨 The Problem

The best candidates aren’t actively looking — they already have great jobs. But hiring managers don’t have the time to find and engage them.

• Recruiting software has historically failed because it was built for recruiters, not hiring managers — which means more dashboards, more manual work, and little actual hiring.
• Existing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS systems) require too much effort — hiring managers still have to search, craft outreach, and follow up.
• Recruiters and agencies are expensive and misaligned — they optimize for placements, not long-term success.
• Spending on hiring has never been higher — companies are publicly offering $15K+ referral bonuses just to find top AI engineers.

⚒️ The Solution

We give hiring managers an AI recruiter that automates sourcing and outreach. Instead of spending hours manually searching and messaging, hiring managers assign the task, and Vora delivers:

• Our sourcing agent finds top talent (passive candidates who aren’t applying)
• Our research agent crafts deeply researched emails that convert 5x better than the basic personalization used by other tools today.
• Once they’re activated, our agent schedules them directly on the hiring manager’s calendar

(Dashboard used by the internal Vora team)

But here’s what sets us apart - we sell the work, not just the software - hiring managers don’t need to learn a new tool or spend time navigating dashboards. They just get meetings booked with candidates delivered straight to their calendar.

Hiring managers don’t need to log in to anything - they interact with Rachel, our AI recruiter, directly in Slack, just like a coworker.

Rachel keeps hiring managers updated, asks for feedback, and refines searches — all in Slack.
