The Challenge

OperetaAI identified a massive opportunity in the HR technology space. Companies were drowning in applications - thousands of candidates across fragmented ATS platforms - with manual screening that couldn't keep pace.

Overwhelming Volume

2,000-5,000 applications per role, with 100+ open positions simultaneously

Fragmented Systems

Data scattered across Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, and other ATS platforms

Time Pressure

Needed enterprise-ready platform fast to capture market opportunity

We had a clear vision but needed the technical expertise to build an enterprise-grade platform that could compete with established players - and we needed it fast.
