CEO Sam Dhesi said, “We saw how rigid and impersonal recruitment processes were failing both companies and candidates. During a time when human connection mattered more than ever, conversations were missing from the equation, We created Popp AI to fix that—by making it possible to engage candidates in meaningful dialogue, even at scale.”

James Cochrane-Dyet, COO of Popp AI and former Chief of Staff to the NHS COVID Crisis Team said, “In the early days of the pandemic, we experienced how difficult it was to screen candidates at scale while maintaining a personal touch,” “Popp AI was born out of a need to remove bottlenecks in hiring processes without removing the human element required to build real relationships. Our open-ended conversational AI allows companies to engage with talent in a way that feels human but operates at the speed and scale enterprise teams require.”
