Walter Wu
Walter Wu is the founder and CEO of Hirey, a Palo Alto based recruiting technology company he started in 2021. A Tsinghua University graduate who cut his teeth on the chat-based hiring app Hirect, Wu built Hirey into a platform that pairs recruiters with vetted candidates and, more recently, uses AI to compress time-to-hire in high-volume sectors like home care and healthcare staffing. Backed by roughly $14M in disclosed funding, Hirey has since leaned into AI-native recruiting and an agent-mediated introduction network for founders, early hires, and collaborators.
