# Perfectly

> Perfectly is an AI-native recruiting operating system that automates sourcing, outreach, screening, and qualification for fast-growing startups. Built by three ex-TikTok and Meta machine learning scientists, it treats hiring as a recommendation-systems problem: it learns a company's hiring preferences, reaches out to thousands of candidates, runs AI screens, and delivers interview-ready candidates directly into Slack. Backed by Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch, Perfectly counts startups like Giga, Corgi, LlamaIndex, Porter, and Mintlify among its early customers and charges only when a role is filled.
