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.
