Contrario (YC W25)

AI recruiting platform powered by expert recruiters

[Arya Marwaha @arya_marwaha]

Today, we’re launching @ContrarioAI after reaching $6M annualized revenue in under 6 months.

We’re on a mission to superpower a network of expert recruiters with AI agents to help companies hire great talent faster.

Today, Contrario partners with 200+ companies, including Listen Labs, Wispr Flow, and Slash, alongside hundreds of recruiting agencies and in-house talent teams who’ve made it their platform of choice.

@ContrarioAI ranked top 10 on @ProductHunt yesterday, just above @OpenAI.

We were featured in the newsletter twice.

If you're thinking of launching on Product Hunt, here's what we'd do differently next time 🧵

After 18 months of quietly building, @ContrarioAI is live on @ProductHunt Hunt for the first time.

We’re building an AI recruiting platform powered by expert recruiters. Would love your support and feedback!

This guy holds a world record, built a startup, and made us revenue before he even joined... and he's just 21.

Here's how I found him. [THREAD]

I'm 21, CTO of a YC-backed company, and we're fixing how startups hire.

But none of this started with a startup idea. This is my timeline. [THREAD]

⬡ @ContrarioAI is the first autonomous recruiting agency powered entirely by AI. Their LLMs act like recruiters—sourcing, screening, and matching top candidates automatically.
