A16z supports Dex A16z in the United Kingdom to expand the “AI Talent Agent” range and employment maker

Silicon Valley VC Storied Andressen Horowitz supports a startup in the UK startup to “define” how to use artificial intelligence to match companies with talents.

DexAlso, it is called the startup, targets the candidates and companies with the various employment intelligence that works for Amnesty International, including success and training, with a vision towards improving long -term retention.

Dex is the manual work for CTO Harryoglu And CEO Badi Lambros (In the picture above), who recently left his sites as a software engineer and talent head, respectively, at the European VC Atomico company. While they say Dex has already attracted about twenty technological companies in the United Kingdom (“including two prominent UK’s uniforms”), the platform remains in a closed beta at the present time where things are set before later later later this year.

Before that, the London -based startup company announced on Tuesday that it raised $ 3.1 million in the financing round before the seed, led A16z’s Speedrun Concept projects, with the participation of a large number of angels from all the landscapes of technology and VC, including: Meet Charlie Songhurst; Deliveroo Coo Eric French; The accident.

Land

with Amnesty International has become increasingly intertwined In the world of employment, Dex enters a crowded space – this includes Emergingand Well -finished aloneAnd the new smart intelligence Direct bread in LinkedIn. However, Dex sees a gap for a comprehensive platform that focuses on the laser truly Learn about the candidates.

In the first place, DEX – the company’s offers as “AI Voice Talent Agent” – speaks with the candidates with an invitation to earn an understanding of their experience, skills, aspirations and more. Next, DeX can help them plan their next job steps; Providing them with related opportunities; Prepare them for interviews; Even negotiating the offers they may receive.

It should be noted that Dex will work both for negative candidates – that is, those who are not actively looking for a new job – and those who are searching. For example, once DeX builds a candidate profile, it can maintain tabs in open web -announced sites – perhaps very specific types of roles in very specific companies – and serve alerts when these opportunities appear.

For those who actively search for a new work, Dex can go to nine complete yards, from searching to the app.

“DEX speaks through what you want – your preferences and needs – and ask questions to understand your experience and skills deeply,” Lambros explained to Techcrunch. “Using this data, DeX then planns the entire market to find the opportunities and the most suitable surfaces for you. If you want to follow, Dex deals with the app – no more CV, no more coverage letter – and when there is a match, it offers you to the employment manager.”

So for candidates, DeX is less in the market or the Job Council, and more than the artificial intelligence agent does all worldly things.

“We believe that the candidates do not want to walk around hundreds of public job ads,” Lambros said.

After all this, DeX can train candidates to meet them and even provide market data for things like average compensation for such roles.

Lambros said that, in addition to the insertion in “large public data groups, thousands of interviews and communication texts,” Dicks spoke to more than 50 of the “most employment leaders” in the UK to learn about their recruitment methodology, and what they are looking for in their ideal candidates. And all these data, in the end, went to Dex.

Under the cap, the Dex was built on multiple LLM providers, including Openai, Google (Gemini) and Meta (Llama), and switching based on any improvements made with each meaningful model.

“We are constantly evaluating and changing service providers to ensure that we are able to take advantage of the latest developments,” saidoglu.

On the side of the company, Meanwhile, Dex speaks with employment teams to establish its preferences for their perfect candidate.

“Dicks speak with employment managers and candidates to understand what appears to be the deep suitability,” said Oglo. “Culture, behaviors, desires, needs, and aspirations of individuals and companies. Then this is combined with a wide range of data available to the public, which operates our recommendations to arrange personal matches.”

With the presence of $ 3.1 million in the bank, the company is now intensifying its employment through engineering and marketing, with the aim of public launch in the United Kingdom, before searching for international markets.

“Employment is not related to filling seats – it is related to the creation of permanent partnerships that benefit employees and companies,” said Lambros. “With this financing, we will help companies maintain the best talents and enable employees to find a job they love.”
