    Co-founder of Classet - Instant Interviews For Faster Hiring

    Biggest surprise of scaling up AI Phone Interviews Classet? Only 0.53% of applicants opt out of talking with the AI Interviewer. Initially, we expected a significant number of candidates to decline. The idea of talking to an AI might feel off-putting, right? Turns out, we were way off and a lot of the feedback from candidates is that they love the experience: "Actually, you've been great. This is a new experience with Al. It's not like a machine and a robotic kind of thing. I feel like I'm talking to a real person." "It just gave me good vibes, you know. I'm surprised I was able to ask it questions about the work hours and stuff like that." One guy was even hired as an Ops manager through Classet and now uses the tool to interview all his reports so he can save time as he scales up in his new role! "Initially I thought the AI would be annoying, but as I got through the call I forgot it was even AI. I see a lot of value in it for digging into the people who are committed to the role" Why Do Candidates Prefer AI Interviews? 🕒 24/7 Instant Interviews - 65% of candidates cannot apply & interview during a recruiter's working hours because they already have a 9-5 job. Being able to interview late at night or on the weekends can make the job search process more accessible. 🔍 Extra Application Context Candidates can share extra context about their work history, why they left a role, the reason they are looking for a new job. No more 3 year old resume gaps! 📅 Control: Candidates love the flexibility of choosing when and where to take the interview—no phone tag. If candidate need to drop off, they can easily call back and continue the interview where they left off. 🤝 Better Experience: The AI is empathetic, un-rushed, and always available. It creates a calmer, fairer interview process. 💡 Fast Answers: Candidates can get their questions answered on the spot—no hoping a recruiter knows every detail about the role. It’s a reminder that when tech meets real candidate pain points, the adoption speaks for itself. What are your thoughts—would you interview with an AI? #AI #Hiring #Recruitment #CandidateExperience #FutureOfWork #AIInterviews

    Helping teams build the most efficient hiring funnel in the world @ Classet

    🎄 The Holidays Are Coming – But Hiring Doesn't Stop 🎄 As we approach the end of the year, it’s the perfect time for teams to reflect on their achievements and recharge for what’s ahead. Taking time off is essential for maintaining balance and energy – especially for recruiting teams who work tirelessly throughout the year. But here’s the challenge: open roles don’t fill themselves, and candidates don’t pause their job searches. Teams should prioritize keeping the hiring process running smoothly, even during well-deserved breaks. With Classet, you can rest easy knowing your hiring stays on track, allowing you to focus on what truly matters this holiday season. ✨ Recharge. Reflect. Recruit smarter with Classet. ✨ #Recruitment #AI #HiringInnovation #WorkSmarter

    Helping teams build the most efficient hiring funnel in the world @ Classet

    Speed matters in hiring: This data shows that candidates contacted the same day they apply are nearly 3x more likely to be hired than those reached out to even one day later. Accelerating outreach can make the difference between securing top talent and losing them to the competition!

    Here's an imbalance: Per Gallup, 7 in 10 professionals are not *at all* using AI at all to do their job more efficiently. I suspect this is likely to be higher in mission critical functions like TA and HR. Yet 45% of applicants report using AI tools to craft resumés tailored to beat ATS algorithms. Organizations that move fast and are thoughtful about integrating AI are going to have a huge leg up in 2025.

    75% of HR leaders believe incorporating AI into their 2025 strategy is critical to stay competitive. But (checking the math here), that means 1 in 4 do not think AI will drive meaningful impact next year. It makes me wonder: Did 1 in 4 people think the internet wouldn’t be impactful back in 1995? And... how do you think that worked out for them?

    Absolutely wild stat from American Staffing Association: 40% of Unemployed Job Seekers Report Not Having a SINGLE Job Interview in the Past Year How can this be, at a time where it seems nearly every business who hires hourly employees is *starved* for talent? Seems to me there is something incredibly broken with candidates going from the point of application to actually getting to a meaningful conversation with a recruiter...

    AI might be your next job interviewer. Interviewing is expensive. Companies pour time and $ on long, painful interview processes. New Andreessen Horowitz thesis from me and Olivia Moore on AI voice interviewers👇 1/ What’s wrong with interviewing today? Why would AI be better? Human interviews are costly. The average hire costs ~$5K, which is much higher for higher skill roles, and it doesn’t include hiring manager time (per SHRM data). Recruiters spend > 50% of their time on the screening process. Scheduling is slow - often taking weeks for a first screen, leaving candidates frustrated. AI agents, by contrast, can condense the process. 3/ But is AI good enough to conduct interviews? Voice and video calls have also made meaningful progress, just in the past 6 months. AI Interviewers can hold credible live conversations - and avatars are becoming indistinguishable from humans—far better than speaking into a void with the prior gen of video-recording interview software. 4/ AI interviewers are already being used for filling high volume roles. E.g. retail, QSR, temp, or customer service jobs - there’s a high volume of applicants, without great ways to quickly evaluate candidates (often resumes don’t help). Currently, many companies pay staffing agencies for this - it's a $654B global market, with 43 publicly listed staffing companies. 5/ AI can transform higher-skill hiring too.  Traditional recruiters often aren’t technical. An AI agent can be trained against specific skills and can screen candidates (like @lightscreenai does for coding) to complement the recruiter’s work. The experience can also be consistent across candidates, and they are timely with evaluation rubrics - and with as much detail as the company needs. 6/ Beyond interviewing more candidates, more efficiently, AI interviewers could improve decision-making quality. They can be more objective (unlike, say, a "hungry judge". No grading harshness due to bad sleep or personal issues. The notes are recorded real time and not based on recall several days later. 7/ So what happens to recruiters here? Recruiter can spend more time on the relationship building aspect. They can focus their time nurturing and selling the highest potential candidates. 7/ We expect many massive companies to emerge here, each tackling different recruiting aspects. We’re looking for startups with: - A strong POV on preserving (or even enhancing!) candidate experience - Integrations into the most relevant recruiting tools to sync data + make the AI recruiter as helpful as possible - Instincts on when to sell to staffing middlemen vs. going direct to employer 8/ If you're building in this space or you think we missed something, reach out to us at samble@a16z.com or omoore@a16z.com. 👋 Our DMs are open!
