About Asendia AI

Asendia AI replaces the top-of-funnel recruiter. Our AI agents clone each agency's best human recruiter: their knowledge base, screening logic, outreach style, and judgment, then run the full workflow across phone, SMS, WhatsApp, and email, 24/7. A req comes in; by the time a recruiter sits down, Asendia has already sourced, screened, and drafted submittals. Staffing is a $200B+ industry where speed is the entire margin.
