We believe in a world where all the friction that gets in the way of hiring is replaced by conversations — freeing people up to spend time with people, not software. Our conversational recruiting software is built to automate the tasks hiring teams dont have time for — like screening, interview scheduling, and onboarding — to save hours of time and take candidates from hello to hired faster than ever. Weve helped thousands of employers build world class hiring experiences, like Unilever, Medtronic, Nestle, General Motors, FedEx, and Lowes. And we’ve been honored to win several awards, including HR Executive Top Product, Brandon Hall Group’s Gold Award for Best Advance in AI for Business Impact, and one of Forbes’ Top 500 Startups to Work For. Please note: Paradox will never ask you for your credit card or bank account information in connection with our recruitment process. If anyone contacts you requesting such information, please email us at info@paradox.ai or go to https://www.paradox.ai/legal/fraud for more information.

Women’s work is changing, but clothes are struggling to keep up. We know this firsthand: Argent is the result of years spent searching and failing to find clothes with the attitude and ambition that match our own. Now, we’re on a mission to upgrade working women’s wardrobes and help them navigate their busy, hybrid lives. Through confident clothes and an inspiring community, we’re creating a movement that’s all about self expression in and out of the workplace, versatility as a power move, and radical equality when it comes to paychecks, pockets, and everything in between. www.argentwork.com Instagram | @argent
