Case Study: Automat hires nearly half its team with Paraform

Automat hires 7 people and nearly half its team with Paraform

Automat, a San Francisco-based company building AI agents for enterprise automation, faced a significant challenge in hiring a small, high-leverage team after raising a Series A. They needed exceptional candidates who were not only technically skilled but could also operate with minimal structure. Despite Pablo Lleras, the Co-Founder and CTO, handling much of the recruiting and working with a dedicated recruiter, the company struggled to find the right people, with very few candidates making it through the process. This led them to seek a solution with the vendor Paraform, utilizing its AI recruiting platform.

By using Paraform, Automat was able to leverage AI matching agents to quickly surface high-quality candidates that fit their unique requirements. The solution allowed them to make 7 key hires, representing nearly half of their 17-person team, including for difficult-to-fill roles like Forward Deployed Strategist. The fastest hire was completed in just 9 days. Paraform provided Automat with the ability to quickly turn hiring on and off as needed, ensuring they could build their team rapidly without compromising on quality.
