Serra 🧑‍🏫 Your 24/7 AI Recruiter
See original launch post

Hey YC community 👋

Alan and Albert here! We're excited to introduce Serra—the fully autonomous AI Recruiter that transforms how startups find and engage talent.

🚀 TL;DR
Serra 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.

❌ The Problem
Talent 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.

🤖 Our Solution
Serra is your AI-powered sourcing partner, working around the clock to:

  • Find ideal candidates across LinkedIn, GitHub, and your ATS.
  • Automatically review and shortlist candidates by precisely matching your criteria.
  • Engage proactively via personalized, automated outreach sequences directly through LinkedIn and email.
  • Continuously source new talent, keeping your pipeline fresh without manual effort.

Serra ensures your recruiting team spends their valuable time engaging and hiring the best candidates—not searching databases.

🛠️ How It Works
Simply talk or type your hiring criteria into Serra:

"Hi Serra, find me a technical Head of Product at Series B-D startups, preferably with co-founding experience and recent promotions."

Serra clarifies any additional details, conducts exhaustive searches, vets profiles automatically, and starts personalized candidate outreach—all autonomously.

📖 Our Story
We 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.

🎯 Our Ask

Cheers,
The Serra Team
