Intrro uses data science to comb a company’s wider network and automatically suggest the most promising candidates as employee referrals. The platform aims to make outreach personal by enabling existing employees to vouch for and refer candidates rather than relying on mass outreach. Customers report a five-fold increase in referral hiring within the first 90 days of usage, and clients include Airwallex, Riskified, Faire, Applyboard, and Typeform. The founders, Nasser Oudjidane and Neel Shah, previously sourced and placed talent at Adecco Group before building Intrro. The article highlights industry statistics on referral effectiveness and retention to contextualize Intrro’s value proposition. To date the company has raised $2.8 million in funding, including a new $2.2 million round. Intrro offers software that digitises and automates employee referrals: it uses machine learning to scan employees’ social and professional networks to identify candidate matches, then enables a human intro before a recruiter takes over. The product aims to deliver pools of diverse, verified talent to hiring managers. The company was founded last May by Nasser Oudjidane and Neel Shah, both formerly with Adecco Group’s Abu Dhabi office. Intrro’s business operations are based in London while its product, development, and data science teams are in Tbilisi, Georgia. The startup has just raised new funding and plans to deploy most of it to its Tbilisi teams and product development. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
