{"id":100085,"title":"Asendia AI — Clone Your Best Recruiter!","tagline":"Asendia AI builds AI recruiters for staffing agencies and enterprise companies. It clones their best recruiters into AI agents that match, screen, and submit candidates 10x faster.","body":"We are [Rihab Lajmi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rihab-l-085182164/) and [Badis Zormati,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/badis-zormati/) Co-founders of [Asendia AI.](https://asendia.ai/)\n\n---\n\nAsendia AI clones your best recruiters into AI agents that match, screen, and submit candidates 10x faster. When a new role comes in, our agents search your own database, look at inbound applicants and reach out over phone, SMS, and WhatsApp, run screening conversations, and deliver ranked shortlists with written submittals, all modeled on how your top recruiters actually work. Your team gets their time back for the only part that actually needs them: closing candidates, working closely with clients and building relationships.\n\nOur Launch Video: \u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pdqUklre6o\u003e\n\n**The problem**\n\nStaffing agencies lose placements every day, not because they lack talent, but because their recruiters don't have enough hours to place candidates in time.\n\nThe average recruiter spends 80% of their day on manual redundant work. Screening, data entry, outreach, follow-ups, scheduling. The actual recruiting, the judgment, the relationships, the conversations that close, gets two hours a day if they're lucky. Every hour spent on admin is a candidate they didn't submit. Every candidate they didn't submit is a placement a faster agency took. In staffing, speed isn't a nice-to-have. It's the entire margin.\n\n**What we built**\n\nOn the Asendia platform, you build your own AI recruiters. Each one can be cloned from how your best human recruiters actually work, their screening criteria, their outreach style, their prioritization logic. You configure the workflows: which channels they use (phone, SMS, WhatsApp, email), how they screen, what qualifies a candidate, when they escalate to a human.\n\nUnder the hood, Asendia connects to your ATS and digests every candidate record, every client req, every placement history. Your AI recruiters don't search by keywords. They understand your database the way a tenured recruiter does, matching on real context, flagging candidates based on signals like contract end dates, availability shifts, and past behavior.\n\nEvery morning, your team gets a brief: who was sourced, who responded, who's qualified, and what needs attention. Your human recruiters stop spending eight hours on admin and start spending eight hours on the part that wins placements: judgment, relationships, and closing.\n\n**The team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=100085\u0026key=user_uploads/2066133/93ccf745-21fa-47bb-9ce1-11e65bde5e7e)\n\n#AI #Recruiting #B2B #artificial_intelligence #Hiring #Agents #Agentic","slug":"Q2H-asendia-ai-clone-your-best-recruiter","created_at":"2026-04-23T13:55:50.208Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T23:02:04.977Z","total_vote_count":26,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Q2H-asendia-ai-clone-your-best-recruiter","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=100085\u0026key=user_uploads/2066133/93ccf745-21fa-47bb-9ce1-11e65bde5e7e","company":{"id":31528,"name":"Asendia AI","slug":"asendia-ai","url":"https://asendia.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/e735fee67a48586d3de061beb544a8ab8d481fc6.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","B2B","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31528"}}
