How Sesto AI works

AI-native recruiting that turns role brief to qualified shortlist in a fraction of the usual hiring time.

We combine automation speed with human recruiting judgment, so startup teams move fast without trading away candidate quality.

How we ship hires faster

From brief to shortlist in four tight steps.

AI expands speed at each stage, while recruiters keep quality gates sharp and founder-ready.

Step 03

Structured screening

Score every profile against the role framework, then recruiter-review each pass.

Shortlist delivery

Share interview-ready candidates and tighten criteria from each founder signal.
