The future of recruiting is now: Tezi’s agentic AI Recruiter is available to all

Tezi's Max is now generally available (GA)

Last summer, we announced our $9M seed funding to launch Max, the world’s first autonomous AI recruiting agent. After iterating for a few months with a small number of design partners, we started onboarding paying customers last fall, and today are thrilled to announce general availability of the product! If you’d like to hire faster, better and cheaper with AI, get in touch.

Hiring is magical when it works well. It is a thrill for a candidate to find their dream job or for a hiring manager to find that amazing hire they can’t wait to start on their team. But the process to get there is often slow and expensive, with a lot of tedious, repetitive work that takes up countless hours.

and I started Tezi with a vision to create a product that takes the tedium out of recruiting so hiring teams can focus on what they do best and enjoy the most: meeting with amazing candidates and selling the vision, evaluating mutual fit and closing the deal. We built Max, an autonomous AI agent that can partner with hiring teams across the recruiting funnel: building a sourcing list, sending out email sequences, reviewing thousands of resumes to find the gems, screening candidates or scheduling interviews.

Since Max works across the recruiting workflow from opening a role to offer, no matter what your pain point is, Max can very likely help. Whether you are a founder or hiring manager at a small startup or a recruiter at a larger company, Max can take the tedious, repetitive tasks in recruiting off your plate.

While AI has tremendous potential for shaping the future of work, it is nascent technology. A customer recently told us: “I’ve tried several AI recruiting tools and yours is the only one that actually works.” How did we get there?

• We painstaking tuned the AI and built surrounding technology and software so Max can work consistently and be reliable and predictable.

• We leveraged the knowledge, experience, and skill of amazing recruiters on our team and in our network who helped Max get good at not only the science of recruiting but also the art, be it in crafting the ideal message to spark a passive candidate’s interest or a web chat screen that feels natural and informative.

• We designed Max knowing that at its core, recruiting is innately human - after all, it is one human deciding to work with a group of other humans. Our goal was to take on all the meticulous work that leads to facilitating the best human interactions.

Here are some stats about Max in the few months since our initial launch:

• Used by dozens of customers for nearly a hundred job roles.

• Recruited globally across a variety of functions including engineering, AI, sales, marketing, operations, customer success, product, and more.

• Sourced tens of thousands of high quality candidates and reviewed just as many inbound applications.

• Screened and scheduled interviews for over a thousand candidates.

Ultimately, across all Max’s functionality, we estimate that we saved our customers over 10,000 recruiting hours in just the last few months.

While I would love to tell you a lot more about the magic Max brings to our customers, what is even better is hearing directly from them:

“The way we search for talent has long been tangled in inefficiency, drowning in excess, and blind to what truly matters. Max moves through this chaos with clarity. It knows where to look, whom to engage, and how to cut through the noise to bring forth those who belong. It is not just technology; it is a shift in understanding, a way forward.

I’ve seen a lot of tools that promise to make hiring easier, but Max actually delivers. It got up and running with barely any setup, dialed in on the right candidate profiles, sourced thousands of top-quality applicants, and took care of scheduling like clockwork. On top of that, it filtered out the noise from our inbound pipeline, so we only spent time on the best. This is the future of recruiting - no doubt about it.” - Mawulom Nenonene, Head of Talent Acquisition at Point

“Max replaced our need to source at all for some roles. By reviewing our overwhelming backlog of inbound applicants and advancing only the best ones, Max found 29 strong candidates for a recent role. We closed a great hire in a little more than one month from opening the role. I'm very pleased with Max!” - Mackenzie Tuller, Head of Operations at Mutiny

“The calibration process with Max is a treat. Even with a descriptive job description in place, Max made me refine the key attributes that we were looking for in the role through a series of selections/rejections from a candidate pool. The magic happened at the end of the process. After a couple of weeks, some candidates started engaging with Max and I was pleasantly surprised when I talked to some of them including AI engineers. They were not aware that an AI agent was reaching out to them! With the volume of well-targeted outreach Max is sending and the resulting interest, we have a real shot at filling our roles faster.” - Santhosh Srinivasan, VP of Engineering at Acryl Data

"While Max does require some ongoing human oversight, it excels at capturing our nuanced target candidate profile. By automating sourcing and screening across thousands of candidates, Max has become an excellent complement to our traditional recruiting practices, especially during high growth hiring sprints.” - Aniruddha Laud, Head of Engineering at Pocus

When candidates interact with Max, they tend to love it. Max is online 24/7 and responds instantly to inquiries at any time of day or night. Rather than wait for days for a recruiter screen, candidates can chat with Max instantly at any time they choose.

“Initially, I was hesitant about the process, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. The flow was smooth and led naturally into the next question.” - Design candidate

“This is the first time I've received cold outreach from an AI recruiter and completed the screening. The entire experience was incredible. Natural, inclusive, efficient: I appreciated the conversational nature and time to craft solid answers.” - Marketing candidate

Max is ready for companies of all sizes and stages. If you don’t have any investment in recruiting software, Max can work standalone and be your one-stop solution. If you have an ATS, Max can seamlessly sync its activity so you can leverage it without having to leave the ATS interface. We are compliant with leading standards like SOC2 (security), CCPA (data privacy) and NYC 144 (AI & employment regulations).
