UPPER Takes On Recruiting Software's Slowest Step: The Week Before the First Call

ATLANTA, GA — UPPER, a woman-founded, AI-enabled talent sourcing platform for end-to-end talent scouting, today pointed at the step recruiting software usually leaves manual: everything between the job description and the first real conversation. From one job description, UPPER sources across major job channels at the same time, scores every candidate against the actual role, runs outreach, and manages engagement until top-ranked candidates with CVs are ready to be contacted.

That first week is where hires are lost — days of channel-by-channel searching, resume scoring by eye, and outreach that goes unanswered. UPPER removes that grind and hands the hiring manager a ranked, evidenced shortlist that can be judged in minutes.

"UPPER exists because I watched the same week repeat: write the job description, burn days on manual searching and scoring, send outreach into the void, and lose the best people before the first call," said Rachel Messing, founder and CEO of UPPER. "So we built the machine to do the digging. Machines source, score, and recommend; people decide."

The company states that teams using UPPER save 50-70% of the time they previously spent on sourcing, screening, and outreach. UPPER is available now to talent teams and staffing firms in any industry. Details at https://www.upperlev.com
