In January, Nancy Xu left a PhD at Stanford where she worked on foundational models to start her AI recruiting company, Moonhub. Today, Moonhub is used by buzzy AI startups Anthropic and Inflection to source and hire employees.Moonhub’s AI chatbot, trained on 1 billion candidate profiles, helps hiring managers at AI unicorns like Anthropic and Inflection find and recruit employees.
“We help companies find those we call ‘the hidden talent.’ Oftentimes are not actively interviewing, but they may be passively interested in a conversation,” said Moonhub founder and CEO Nancy Xu. Recruiters can query Moonhub’s conversational chatbot to find hundreds of relevant candidates by feeding it contextual information like the job description and company information. They can also inject prompts like “show me people in the Bay Area from top Ivy League Schools” and find people working at similar companies or companies that use similar technologies.
