# SonicJobs

> SonicJobs is a London- and San Francisco-based recruitment startup that builds AI agents to remove the single most destructive step in online job hunting: the redirect from a job listing to an employer's separate application site, where roughly 95% of candidates give up. Its 'Hosted Apply' agents complete applications in place across 300-plus applicant tracking systems, lifting completion rates from an industry-standard 5% to around 26% and cutting employers' cost-per-application by up to 67%. Founded in 2017 by Mikhil Raja, Francesco Masia and Francesca Boccolini, the company has helped over a million candidates apply, raised a $5.5M Series A in 2021, and won the 2025 HR Tech Pitchfest.
