Why Tavi
Everything below is something we built because we needed it ourselves.
Long-horizon search
Tavi does deep research on your company and hiring domain, searches continuously, refines results, and critically evaluates every candidate before delivering them to you.
Slack-native, multiplayer by design
Hiring works best when the whole team is involved. We don't charge per-seat and work across your whole org by default.
Secure isolation
Your company gets its own dedicated instance running in a containerised environment. Your data never touches another customer’s.
Context and learning
Tavi gets to know your organisation and hiring bar the way a great recruiter would. It learns on the job, calibrates to your feedback, and gets measurably better each week.
Bundled data sources
No separate subscriptions. Tavi searches across multiple platforms and databases out of the box, and enriches using investor-grade market intelligence.
Built in the trenches
We’re bootstrapped with no VC runway. We built Tavi to power our own recruiting firm, where every placement is how we keep the lights on. If it didn’t work, we wouldn’t be here.
Not all AI recruiting is the same
Most AI tools speed up parts of recruiting. Tavi replaces the entire stack and gets better at your business every week.
