Recruiting Rewards operates an AI recruitment marketplace where companies post roles and niche, specialized recruiters compete to fill them, with only the recruiter who finds the hire getting paid. The platform keeps a human in the loop to address hiring managers’ overload from candidate volume and noisy sourcing tools. Founded in 2024 and based in Stockholm, the founding team includes Ashkan Badie (founder), Daniel Swenson (CTO and co-founder), and Sofia Huhtanen (Founding CSM). The company bootstrapped to 150 combined users in its first year and has since grown to over 100 companies and 200 recruiters across Sweden and the Nordics. Recruiting Rewards positions itself against U.S. competitors such as Paraform and Mercor. The team is preparing to open a seed round to finance global expansion.
