Traditional hiring is broken, rewarding polished resumes over actual skills. Singapore-based startup LeapIn aims to fix this by replacing CVs with an "AI recruiter" that assesses skills and potential, not just keywords.
Founder and CEO Sara Zhu joins us to share her journey of building a profitable, seven-figure HR Tech company. She explains how their AI-powered platform uses video interviews to analyse a candidate's language, emotion, and behavior with over 95% prediction accuracy, and how they train custom models on a company's own top performers to ensure success.
We discuss:
How their AI recruiter analyses behavior to predict soft skills.
Their "skills-first" approach to replacing the traditional CV.
How they train custom AI models using a company's internal data.
Their B2B model that has led to profitability and 100% client retention.
Their Series A fundraising plans for regional expansion into Malaysia and beyond.
For HR leaders, talent acquisition managers, and founders looking to build better teams, this is a dive into the future of hiring and AI-powered talent management.
