Mission

Work with AI. Hope for Humans.

Our Story

Born From Recruiter Burnout

Before founding BlancAI, our CEO spent years in the trenches as Head of Recruiting. He felt the grind daily—hundreds of open reqs, marathon phone screens, midnight calendar wrangling. He watched talented teammates flame out, candidates lose faith, and businesses miss great hires simply because human capacity hit its limit. Recruiting had become a hope-draining, burnout-inducing cycle of inefficiency—the exact opposite of what work should be.That frustration lit the spark for BlancAI: if AI could shoulder the routine, recruiters could reclaim their time, creativity, and, most importantly, hope. BlancAI exists to turn that vision into everyday reality.

Built With HR Leaders in U.S.

BlancAI was born shoulder-to-shoulder with an HR leader at a 3,000-employee HVAC-fan manufacturer in America’s Midwest—a team that trusted us to solve the very pain they lived every day. Together we turned endless requisitions, interview backlogs, and late-night scheduling into a smooth flow powered by an AI assistant that feels more like Baymax than a bot. Today that assistant frees their recruiters to focus on people, not paperwork—making hiring not just faster, but genuinely rewarding.
