Ep48 of Founders Focus is supported by Popp

Meet Ellie. She's is a (real) senior talent acquisition leader at one of the world’s biggest technology companies. She's also the Global Recruiter of the Month. 

Every month Ellie uses Popp to screen and manage human-like conversations with thousands of candidates, progressing them rapidly through the hiring funnel. She’s delegating her administrative responsibilities to her AI co-pilot, and focussing on where she adds real value - building meaningful relationships with the candidates that count. She’s embracing new technology to transform into a super-recruiter and accelerate her career.

Popp is trusted by some of the most innovative recruiters like Ellie, and some of the most innovative talent teams and staffing organisations, like Zoe and Randstad. 

Popp plugs into your ATS or CRM to automate administrative tasks across the recruitment funnel, transforming your recruiters into a hyper-lean, AI-enabled team of super-recruiters, who can accelerate candidates through the recruitment funnel at breakneck speed while delivering a world-class candidate experience. 

Popp is a compliant, audited, ethical partner that you can trust to:

Popp will automatically deliver personalized interactions to candidates in your CRM to collect their latest information and keep their profiles enriched and updated.

Screen thousands of candidates in seconds:

Popp can screen thousands of candidates or new applicants at once. We allow you to dynamically change your scoring criteria to look at candidates in different ways and enable you to automatically shortlist the best candidates with detailed reports from our DE&I-compliant AI co-pilot.

With Popp, you can easily set up next-step automations - like personalised feedback or role recommendations for unsuccessful candidates, screening conversations for your shortlist, or booking links and document requests for successful interview candidates.

Popp accelerates candidates through hiring processes using personalized and human-like conversations at scale. It takes the average Popp-enabled recruiter less than 9 minutes to set up a campaign to reach out to 1000s of candidates. 24/7, in any language. Popp answers candidate questions, advertises roles, collects docs, and schedules calls. And via high-response channels like SMS and WhatsApp.

We update every candidate profile automatically based on every interaction.

Our human-in-the-loop mechanism ensures that AI decisions and outputs are overseen and, when necessary, taken over by a human supervisor. Our AI recognises its shortcomings and automatically notifies human managers when it needs a hand.

”Popp is a platform every company should have, I can imagine endless possibilities in which you can use Popp and make your work run smoothly. Work smarter and not harder.”
