Mindy FAQs
What is Mindy?
Engineers our recruiters have headhunted and interviewed, matched to your role by Mindy, our AI recruiter. Brief a role, get a shortlist within 24 hours.
Is Mindy an AI recruiting tool?
Yes, but it works where you already do. There's no new platform to learn or log into. Every candidate is headhunted and interviewed by a specialist recruiter first. Then Mindy matches them to your role and delivers the shortlist to your Slack within 24 hours. A recruiter checks every match.
Can Mindy replace a technical recruiter?
For most engineering hires, yes. Mindy brings the technical judgement of 60+ specialist recruiters to every search, so you don't need one in-house. You screen, interview and close.
Is Mindy screening candidates, or is a recruiter doing it?
Recruiter. Every engineer in the network has been interviewed by a specialist recruiter before Mindy ever sees them. She's trained on 60+ of our recruiters and matches against those conversations.
How much does Mindy cost?
You pay 10% of base salary when you hire. No retainers, no upfront fees, nothing if you don't hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-25%.
Can I see and change the brief?
Yes. You sign off the brief before matching starts. If a shortlist isn't right, tell Mindy why and the next one adjusts. No need to re-brief from scratch.
Do we need another tool or an ATS integration?
No. Shortlists arrive in a shared Slack channel. There's no platform to log into and no access to your ATS or calendar, so there's nothing for IT or security to sign off.
How is Mindy different from other candidate sourcing software?
Job boards give you thousands of profiles to wade through. Most AI recruiters and AI sourcing tools find profiles, but you still have to reach out, screen and chase. We send candidates a senior recruiter has already interviewed, with notes on what they've shipped, what they're looking for and whether they'd fit your stage. And they're interested in speaking to you.
Are there hidden fees or costs?
No. You pay 10% of base salary when you hire. No retainers, no upfront fees, nothing if you don't hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-25%.
How is this different from job boards and talent marketplaces?
Job boards give you thousands of profiles to wade through. Marketplaces still leave you to screen and qualify. Mindy sends engineers a senior recruiter has already interviewed, with notes on what they've shipped, what they're looking for and whether they'd fit your stage. And they’re interested in speaking to you.
Where do your candidates come from?
Our recruiters are constantly headhunting the best talent on behalf of leading AI companies, reaching engineers who aren't applying anywhere.
Are the candidates actually interested?
Yes. Every engineer has confirmed they're interested before you see them. Each profile also shows when we last interviewed them, so you know it's current.
What do I get beyond a CV?
Recruiter notes on every candidate: what they've shipped, technical strengths, what they'd move for, comp expectations, notice period, stage fit, cultural and soft-skills fit. The context you'd normally need another call to qualify.
How quickly can I start interviewing candidates?
Within 24 hours. Brief the role, get a shortlist with enough context to skip straight to the technical conversation.
What if the shortlist isn't right?
Tell Mindy why and the next one adjusts. No need to re-brief from scratch.
Do you only focus on engineering roles?
Yes. Engineering only: frontend, backend, fullstack, founding and product engineers, FDEs, AI/ML, data, platform, SRE and security.
