Helena by Woo is a 2-sided AI powered agent/headhunter for matching tech talent and companies. Sparing both sides the hassle of finding each other, Helena does the work instead. As an agent she lets tech professionals discreetly and passively get job opportunities from companies that meet their personal wish list.

Thanks Ben for hunting us! Hey PH community, I’m Liran, co-founder & CEO, of Woo. We’re excited to share our newest iteration of Woo. For the past 2 years, we’ve been heads down building and perfecting our newest offering. We’re pleased to introduce you to -- Helena! She’s the first 2-sided, AI-powered virtual headhunter. Despite there being a lot of recruiting tools in the market, we still see employers & talent spending a lot of time and effort trying to find each other. The hassle is so great that talent usually just stay put. Woo gives tech professionals the ability to enter our platform and tell the virtual agent what their ideal job is, get real time feedback if the opportunity is realistic, and how they need to adjust it. Then Helena goes to find them only the right opportunity & will represent them if they want to move forward. On the employer side, recruiting teams don’t have time or resources to adopt more channels. They’re really maxed out trying to find the best candidates. Their efforts should be invested interviewing and screening rather than chasing after candidates. Plus headhunters are a very costly channel. Helena does all the heavy-lifting from scouting to identifying, matchmaking, approaching, sourcing and even the initial intros. Early results show our 2-sided, AI powered marketplace works: 52% of candidates sourced by Helena move forward with interviews. She outperforms 20x better than job boards. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! We’d also love to have you sign up and test out Helena. Thanks in advance!

Watching this company from day one. Super cool to see this release. Curious how they will scale in such a saturated market though.

@hilzfuld Thanks for the love Hillel! Agree -the market is big but we believe it's inefficient. Both parties, talent and HR professionals, are spending way too much of their time trying to find each other. We believe that by introducing a strong technology to combat this will change the entire eco system, by improving its efficiency.

That's amazing! Is it just for developers at the moment?

COOLLL+++ What's the business model and pricing? I mean, will I as end users have to pay anything? Or the company who'll hunt me will pay? Also interesting to know what's your cut? Pedal to the metal, @lirankotzer, @omrishabi and team

@yam_regev Thank you for the love! Yes, Woo is totally free for techies - and always will be. Companies who are looking for a more efficient way to recruit pay to use Woo. We've got a few pricing options from subscription model to pay-per-hire so it's hard to discuss the specific cut we get. But because we're technology based our pricing is much more competitive :)

I worked with Woo when they were at the Microsoft accelerator. Amazing team and great product!

Pros:

Great way to always be on the hunt for opportunities without actively looking

Cons:

Doesn't (yet) include opportunities that are spread through word of mouth

@noniisrael Thank you so much buddy! Working hard to take the hassle and fear out of job hunting

A lot of bold claims, but in reality the product is without any advanced functionality.
