{"id":89379,"title":"Serra 🧑‍🏫 Your 24/7 AI Recruiter","tagline":"Serra is your AI-powered recruiting assistant that sources and engages ideal candidates nonstop, letting your team focus on hiring—not searching.","body":"Hey YC community 👋\n\n[Alan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanhlwang/) and [Albert](https://www.linkedin.com/in/albertjstanley/) here! We're excited to introduce Serra—the fully autonomous AI Recruiter that transforms how startups find and engage talent.\n\n**🚀 TL;DR**\\\nSerra autonomously handles your candidate sourcing 24/7. It identifies, evaluates, and engages top-tier talent so your recruiting team can focus on meaningful human interactions.\n\n📺 **See Serra in action:** \u003chttps://youtu.be/G2vqwf80LJY\u003e\n\n**❌ The Problem**\\\nTalent sourcing today is still manual, inefficient, and repetitive. Recruiters spend countless hours creating Boolean search strings, sifting through profiles, and handling outreach manually—taking precious time away from meaningful interactions. This slows down hiring, increases costs, and risks missing top candidates.\n\n**🤖 Our Solution**\\\nSerra is your AI-powered sourcing partner, working around the clock to:\n\n* **Find ideal candidates** across LinkedIn, GitHub, and your ATS.\n* **Automatically review and shortlist** candidates by precisely matching your criteria.\n* **Engage proactively** via personalized, automated outreach sequences directly through LinkedIn and email.\n* **Continuously source** new talent, keeping your pipeline fresh without manual effort.\n\nSerra ensures your recruiting team spends their valuable time engaging and hiring the best candidates—not searching databases.\n\n**🛠️ How It Works**\\\nSimply talk or type your hiring criteria into Serra:\n\n\u003e \"Hi Serra, find me a technical Head of Product at Series B-D startups, preferably with co-founding experience and recent promotions.\"\n\nSerra clarifies any additional details, conducts exhaustive searches, vets profiles automatically, and starts personalized candidate outreach—all autonomously.\n\n**📖 Our Story**\\\nWe built Serra after talking to dozens of YC founders experiencing firsthand the pain of inefficient sourcing in high-growth startups. The goal became very simple: help companies build better teams, faster.\n\n**🎯 Our Ask**\n\n* **Are you hiring or scaling your team?** We’d love you to try Serra firsthand. Visit [serra.io](http://serra.io/) and mention YC for priority onboarding.\n* **Know someone who could benefit from automated sourcing?** Introductions are greatly appreciated!\n\n👉 **Reach out directly:** [founders@serra.io](mailto:founders@serra.io)\n\nLet Serra handle the heavy lifting so your team can focus on what matters most—your people. Excited to hear your thoughts!\n\nCheers, \\\nThe Serra Team","slug":"NFb-serra-your-24-7-ai-recruiter","created_at":"2025-04-10T16:44:46.577Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T06:28:49.838Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NFb-serra-your-24-7-ai-recruiter","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":28863,"name":"Serra","slug":"serra","url":"https://www.serra.io/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/de1a90717852abf9734482354e7229c962c19089.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Recruiting","HR Tech","Enterprise Software","AI Assistant"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28863"}}
