The Problem

Recruitment is broken for 99% of candidates. While top executives get white-glove treatment from personal recruiters, most people are left with impersonal, transactional processes that overlook skills, ambitions, and potential.

Our Solution

Merit is the AI recruiter for the 99%. She has in-depth conversations to understand candidates’ skills and goals, then acts as their personal agent—matching them to the right roles and introducing companies to pre-vetted, precision-matched talent.
