About

I ran a recruitment agency for 50+ companies before writing a line of product code. That showed me: hiring is structured — except sourcing. Interviews have scorecards, approvals have workflows. But sourcing? Still "give a recruiter LinkedIn and hope." 60-70% of recruiter time is wasted searching instead of evaluating talent. That's why we built Kodiva. Hiring managers describe the role. The AI finds candidates, scores them across 15+ dimensions, and reaches out via email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. Recruiters wake up to shortlists — not search queries. We serve enterprise teams and GCCs in India with 40+ roles that can't scale by adding recruiters. Previously: Director of Engineering at Whathatjr, CTO at BeMasterly, IIT Roorkee. Hired 200+ engineers. I write The Hiring Stack for TA leaders.
