Uncommon.co offers a programmatic, merit-based talent marketplace that uses AI and NLP to evaluate resumes against job descriptions and surface only qualified applicants. Recruiters define role requirements and the platform ranks applicants into qualified and unqualified pools, with qualified candidates prioritized for review. The founders say they ingested roughly 5 million job postings and 50 million resumes to train their models, and reported instances where a single role produced about 30 qualified applicants out of hundreds of applications. The company bills on a "cost per interested & qualified" applicant (CPIQ) model and currently charges a nominal flat rate while it scales. Clients named in the article include Gap, Aflac, and Lyft. Founders Amir Ashkenazi and Teg Grenager started the company in 2016 and position the product to enable eventual real-time bidding on qualifications as the marketplace grows.
