Cherrypicker empowers staffing firms by leveraging human touch with AI to deliver top talent to the best companies at scale

My passion for the staffing industry coupled with the drive to develop solutions that solve a very disjointed hiring process is what gets me up in the morning. I personally have been very fortunate to have had a unique 360 degree experience understanding pain points from a candidate/job seeker/hiring manager prospective.

• As a job seeker, I found it difficult to scan through many irrelevant job postings and finding a new job became a chore.
• When I decided to become a recruiter, I struggled to mass market my active and passive candidate database to our clients at scale since their needs were everchanging.
• As a hiring manager, sourcing for great talent was very time consuming. Linkedin is a great social network but it lacks transparency of your connection’s needs from a recruiting perspective.

I knew there had to be an easier way to bring all parties together under one ecosystem so we starting whiteboarding out the optimal process from all sides to create what eventually became Cherrypicker.

My other venture, Enrichly AI, was born when Cherrypicker needed the ability to find contact data at scale but not one single data provider we worked with had 100% coverage to find everything we needed.

My Co-founder and I created a data waterfall which does what Kayak.com does for the travel industry. It researches for verified contact data (mobile number, personal email, work email, direct work number, social network data etc), and finds it for you at the best possible price.

The goal is to achieve economies of scale so that the end user pays what we pay plus a research fee to achieve near 100% coverage for enriching any lead list (significantly less than signing up for 10 different providers).
