ConverzAI is a Seattle-based recruiting automation company founded in 2019 by CEO Ashwarya Poddar, a former Microsoft product manager. The company raised a $16 million Series A round led by Menlo Ventures, with Left Lane Capital, Foundation Capital, and Afore Capital also participating.
The platform's Virtual Recruiter conducts voice, text, and email conversations with candidates to handle sourcing, engagement, screening, and interview scheduling without a human recruiter on every call, then hands staffing teams a structured summary of each conversation. It is built specifically for staffing and recruiting firms rather than in-house corporate talent teams.
Staffing agencies and enterprise recruiting operations looking to cut manual outreach make up the customer base; client TalentBurst reported a 40% jump in placements after adopting the platform. ConverzAI does not list public pricing, with contracts quoted per deployment, and the company reported roughly $10.9 million in annual recurring revenue as of 2025.
