The Stepstone Group is a global online recruitment company operating an AI-driven job marketplace across 20+ brands in 30+ countries, using autonomous matching technology and conversational AI to connect jobseekers directly with roles that fit them.
Large language models power a deeper understanding of both jobseeker profiles and job ads for better matching, connecting over 100 million applications with employers every year – and the company has gone further than most competitors by making core job search services in Germany available directly through ChatGPT and the OpenAI interface. Programmatic job advertising and autonomous matching find suitable candidates from job ads at scale rather than relying on manual sourcing alone.
The Stepstone Group targets jobseekers and employers across its multi-country brand portfolio, with around 3,000 employees and, following a 2024 majority-stake acquisition by KKR and CPP Investments, an accelerating push into conversational AI to reduce hiring friction.
