# Superposition URL: https://superposition.ai ## What We Do The AI headhunter that gets the soul of your company. Superposition is an AI headhunter with real taste. We find the oddly specific shape of your ideal teammate, then go get them. --- ## The Problem We're Solving The human connection in recruitment is everything. But we've allowed an unnecessary middleman into the process: recruiters. The numbers are damning: - $200 billion: Annual cost to US companies - Customer satisfaction: Worse than healthcare (NPS) When the status quo is this broken, we're aiming higher than making a copilot or "LinkedIn 2.0". We're building an agent that is better at finding talent than any human in history. --- ## Our Vision ### The Star Trek Future We believe the future of humanity is a world of artists and scientists, where AI has liberated us from drudgery. In that post-scarcity future, most people will choose to build, explore, and collaborate. "Jean-Luc Picard does not receive a salary. He is compelled to assemble a crew of highly competent peers and explore." In a world like that, the hard problem isn't "finding a job", it's finding your crew: the people who share your values and want to rally around the same mission. Whether you're writing a play or building a starship, the set of possible collaborators explodes. Small, high-concept, tightly-knit expedition crews will be the future, and Superposition will be the mechanism that builds them. ### The 10-Person Unicorn We are entering the era of the 10-person unicorn: fully AI-native companies where small teams of builders get the leverage that used to require hundreds of people. In teams like this, every hire is effectively a cofounder. Culture stops being a forgotten Notion doc and becomes the operating system. When you add employee number 11 to a high-leverage team, being a values match becomes existential. The more leverage a person has, the more dangerous a misalignment becomes. We are building for these companies. Our customers are the future 10-person unicorns. And we are also building one ourselves. --- ## How It Works We are not building a tool for recruiters. We're building an agent that can do the job of a high-taste human recruiter. Edmund was a recruiter for seven years. Frankly, humans suck at this job. The human brain is not well-equipped to look at a thousand candidate profiles in a day and make a nuanced, high-taste match. Voice is the unlock. Our agent talks with hiring managers to design their ideal hire, then sources in real time. The agent pushes back on vague phrases, challenges you to choose between must-haves and nice-to-haves, and turns taste into criteria it can actually search for. It doesn't just accept words like "autodidact", it asks what that means in practice. From there, it searches beyond LinkedIn. It crawls the wider web, connects profiles, finds personal sites, open source contributions, and writing that reveals how people actually think. Then the agent reaches out with personalized outreach that sounds like your company, not a template. It handles the back-and-forth, answers questions, and brings back only high-signal candidates who are genuinely interested. From there, we guide candidates through the entire interview process: scheduling, feedback loops, follow-ups, negotiation support. We stay with you all the way through to a signed offer. --- ## Results & Metrics ### Case Study: ESAI Company: AI-powered college admissions platform Role: Head of Engineering / CTO - 18,410 candidates researched - 28 curated matches surfaced - 8 weeks from kickoff to signed offer - Result: Needle-in-a-haystack CTO hire "Superposition sourced my CTO from start to finish with no human in the loop, and it really did find our needle in the haystack." - Julia Dixon, CEO, ESAI ### Case Study: Plastic Labs Company: Identity and memory infrastructure for AI agents Role: Platform Engineer - 43,802 candidates researched - 15 high-conviction matches surfaced - 5 weeks from kickoff to signed offer - Result: Platform engineer who owns the core service "Your outreach emails are too good, candidate quality is the highest by far. We certainly wouldn't have found this person on our own." - Vince Trost, Co-Founder, Plastic Labs --- ## Customer Testimonials "Superposition handles all of our candidate sourcing and outreach so we can focus on hiring the right person for the job, not just whoever applies." - Gabriel Lesperance, CTO, Trampoline AI "Working with Superposition allowed us to find two amazing people that I could not live without." - Ben Klenk, CEO, Hotplate "Any time I need to hire now, my default is to get Superposition on it. It runs and just does the work for me." - Vince Trost, Co-Founder, Plastic Labs "When other founders tell me they're hiring I tell them it's just a no brainer. You should use Superposition." - Vince Trost, Co-Founder, Plastic Labs --- ## Who We Work With Rocket-ship teams betting their runway on better-matched talent: - Truewind (AI-powered accounting) - Plastic Labs (Identity & memory for AI agents) - Hotplate (Restaurant technology) - Trampoline (AI automation) --- ## The Team Edmund & Li, Co-Founders New York, 2025 Edmund was a recruiter for 7 years before founding Superposition. He recruited hundreds of engineers for startups, including engineer #1 at Brex. Li is CTO and was on the founding team of Vitable Health (YC S20), taking it from pre-seed to a product relied on by hundreds of thousands of patients. Master's at CMU. Li builds the AI systems that power everything, from the voice agent to the search infrastructure. We're building an AI headhunter that has real taste, talks with you over voice to understand the oddly specific shape of your ideal teammate, and then goes and finds them. We have an absurdly ambitious roadmap and a preposterously high bar for product quality. --- ## Contact Book a call: https://superposition.ai?bookcall Email: founders@superposition.ai --- ## Keywords AI recruiting, startup hiring, founding engineer, technical recruiting, engineering talent, Series A hiring, CTO search, head of engineering, platform engineer, AI headhunter, talent matching, executive search, startup CTO, founding team, technical cofounder, engineering leader, senior engineer hiring, staff engineer, principal engineer, AI-powered recruiting, automated recruiting, talent acquisition AI, 10 person unicorn, AI native company, voice recruiting, high taste hiring
