Perfectly

What is Perfectly?

Perfectly is an AI-native recruiting agency backed by Y Combinator, founded by ex-ML scientists from TikTok and Meta. It automates the entire recruiting function — from candidate sourcing and outreach to screening and qualification — so interview-ready candidates show up directly in a company's Slack. Its recommendation system is modeled after large-scale ranking systems used at TikTok, predicting how well a candidate will perform in interviews and on the job. Perfectly charges only on successful role fills and claims to deliver 2x higher interview pass rates and 10x candidate volume compared to traditional agencies.
