About
Chatkick is an all-in-one recruiting platform that combines AI-powered candidate sourcing, omni-channel outreach, talent relationship management, and interview insights into a single workspace. Founded by Daniel Jakaitis — a former VP of Engineering who left his role at a recently acquired startup to solve the recruiting chaos he experienced firsthand — the platform accesses 500+ million candidate profiles, offers GPT-4 personalized email generation trained on 20+ million recruiting messages, and provides automated multi-step drip sequences. Chatkick also acquired Trinsly, an intelligent CRM for recruiters, integrating it into its platform. The company serves thousands of recruiters worldwide including teams at Randstad, Capgemini, and Hirewell, and integrates with major ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, and SmartRecruiters.
