Real companies. Real hires. Real results.

The Challenge

Nexus AI was scaling their inference platform and needed 3 senior engineers with deep systems experience. Traditional recruiting channels were producing candidates who lacked the specific distributed systems expertise required. After 2 months with an agency, they had zero hires.

The Solution

Kasp matched Nexus AI with pre-vetted engineers from their opt-in talent pool. Ellie understood the technical requirements — GPU orchestration, low-latency APIs, and Kubernetes at scale — and delivered a shortlist of 8 qualified candidates within 48 hours.

The Results

• 3 senior engineers hired in 14 days
• 96% interview show rate (vs. 60% industry average)
• $45K saved compared to agency fees
• All 3 hires passed 90-day retention milestone

The Challenge

As a freshly funded YC startup, Arcane Labs needed to hire 5 engineers quickly to hit their product milestones. Agencies quoted 20-25% of salary per hire — over $50K per engineer. With limited runway, they needed a faster, cheaper approach.

The Solution

Through Kasp, Arcane Labs accessed pre-vetted engineers who had opted in specifically for startup roles. Match Day gave them salary-backed offers from multiple candidates simultaneously, compressing what would have been months of recruiting into a structured 48-hour window.

The Results

• 5 engineers hired in 6 weeks total
• $150K saved compared to traditional agency fees
• First shortlist delivered within 48 hours of posting
• 100% of hires still with company after 6 months

The Challenge

Lattice AI was experiencing a 40% no-show rate on interviews sourced through LinkedIn and cold outreach. Candidates were unresponsive, disengaged, or simply using offers as leverage elsewhere. The talent team was spending more time chasing candidates than evaluating them.

The Solution

Kasp's consent-first model meant every candidate had actively opted in and expressed interest in roles matching Lattice AI's requirements. Ellie pre-screened for technical fit and genuine interest before making introductions.

The Results

• 96% interview show rate (up from 60%)
• Zero ghost interviews in 3 months of using Kasp
• 4x higher reply rate compared to LinkedIn InMail
• Reduced time-to-fill from 45 days to 18 days average

The Challenge

Prism Data's engineering team needed to double in size to support their Series A growth targets. Their existing process — job boards, LinkedIn outreach, and one agency — was averaging 6 weeks per hire with inconsistent candidate quality.

The Solution

Kasp's Pro Scale plan gave Prism Data a weekly pipeline of pre-vetted ML engineers and data infrastructure specialists. Match Day created competitive dynamics where multiple candidates were ready to interview simultaneously, collapsing the typical back-and-forth scheduling delays.

The Results

• Average time-to-hire reduced from 42 days to 10 days
• 8 engineers hired in a single quarter
• 75% reduction in hiring cycle length
• Engineering team doubled on schedule for Series A milestones
