About Staffer.ai
Staffer is the easiest AI-first hiring platform for SMBs, built to automate 80% of the hiring process, eliminate bias, and remove repetitive tasks from one of the most human and delicate decisions a company makes.
But we’re not your average ATS. Staffer is designed for department leaders, not recruiters. We combine powerful search, intelligent automation, and actionable insights to help teams surface the best candidates in record time. Imagine if Notion, ChatGPT, and a top-tier headhunter had a baby. That’s Staffer.
And we’re not just solving hiring for companies, we’re redesigning the experience for candidates too. With our built-in candidate portal, applicants stay in the loop every step of the way. From status updates to interview prep, Staffer gives candidates visibility and control over their own journey, making the process faster, fairer, and more transparent.
