Contrario is an AI recruiting platform that puts expert recruiters behind the automation. Its buyer is a startup or growing company hiring critical roles that wants qualified candidates quickly, but does not want to choose between a traditional agency and an unreviewed sourcing bot.

## What it does

The [current Contrario site](https://www.contrario.ai/) says a company uploads or syncs a role, Contrario routes it to specialized recruiters and AI agents, and vetted candidates arrive in the ATS. It lists Ashby and Lever integrations, Slack and Calendly workflows, candidate follow-up, scheduling and coordination. Contrario says its network has more than 500 expert recruiters and that customers receive candidates within days.

The site displays claims of 80% of candidates interviewed, 20 days to meet the hired candidate, 100-plus hours saved, 99% renewal after a first hire and 90% less recruiting administration. The [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/contrario) also
