Outrove

Outrove is an AI-native recruiting platform that automates hiring workflows from sourcing through offers, featuring an ultra-realistic, human-appearing AI interview agent as its core differentiator. The platform's AI recruiter can join video calls on Zoom or Google Meet to conduct audio and video interviews, reason through candidate responses in real-time, and provide automated evaluations that rival human interviewer quality. The platform aims to automate 90% of the recruiting process, including automated pipeline creation, candidate sourcing, multi-channel outreach campaigns, initial screenings, and interview coordination. The AI interviewer is designed with human-like appearance and conversational abilities, analyzing candidate behavior and responses in real-time while conducting structured interviews based on customizable rubrics and evaluation criteria. For hiring teams, Outrove provides customizable recruitment workflows that span the entire hiring funnel, with automated next-step task orchestration (rejection emails, follow-up scheduling, handoffs to human recruiters), candidate management dashboards, and data-driven hiring insights. The platform integrates natively with major ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Manatal) to sync candidate data and maintain unified workflows. Key capabilities include automated multi-channel outreach, AI-driven candidate scoring based on customizable rubrics, call transcripts with custom variables, summary reports for recruiter review, and intelligent handoff points where human recruiters take over final decision-making. The platform is designed to help growth-stage companies, recruiting agencies, and volume hiring teams reduce time-to-hire while maintaining evaluation quality. Founded in 2025 and backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2025 batch), Outrove has raised $1.5M in funding from Y Combinator and angel investors. The platform offers a 30-day free trial with full access, followed by usage-based and custom enterprise pricing. Founders Saif Elhager and Ahmed ElShireef have backgrounds in successful tech ventures (AiHello and Lothgha), bringing technical expertise to the ultra-realistic AI interview agent technology that differentiates Outrove in the competitive AI recruiting market.
