What Mainder is
Mainder is a recruiting platform that uses AI agents to find, contact, and evaluate candidates from a role description, while the hiring team makes hiring decisions. People Finder searches candidate profiles from natural-language descriptions and ranks them by fit; AI Hunts can keep searching overnight. Outreach agents draft first-contact messages for email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp, with replies gathered in one inbox. AI interviews score candidates against role requirements and show recruiters the score and its reasoning. An ATS and hiring pipeline are included starting with the first paid plan. The web and extension product lists LinkedIn, Indeed, Gmail, Outlook, and WhatsApp among its integrations. Mainder says its AI is advisory and critical HR decisions require human validation. It states that it is ISO 27001:2022 certified, operates under GDPR, does not use data to train AI models, and processes data within the EU, in Ireland and London. Data uses TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest; SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress. Paid plans have no trial, and pricing is available on request. A 30-minute demo using the customer’s hiring process is offered.
