1The recruiter years
Nearly ten years on the other side of the desk.
Before Merro, our founder spent nearly a decade as a U.S. recruiter — technical IT recruiting, bench sales, and working directly with client companies, taking requirements straight from the hiring managers who would make the decision.
The work that actually got people hired was clear: understand what the client really needed, know each candidate’s real strengths better than their own resume did, and put the two together fast. That part was human, and it worked.
2What got in the way
Most of the day went to work that wasn’t recruiting.
Searching the same job boards again and again. Reshaping a resume for every requirement. Filling in the same application forms field by field. Chasing replies that sat unanswered. It was necessary — and it crowded out the judgment and relationships that made the difference.
Working with direct clients showed the other side too: hiring managers didn’t want more applications. They wanted fewer, better-matched people, sent while the role was still open. Meanwhile job seekers without a recruiter applied alone, late at night, with one generic resume — and mostly heard nothing.
3The product years
Then learning to build what people trust.
Product management meant turning messy human processes into software, measuring outcomes instead of activity, and shipping things people actually rely on.
That’s where the answer became concrete. AI can finally take on the repetitive execution — searching every job board, career page and applicant tracking system around the clock, preparing each application. But trust can’t be automated: a real recruiter still has to judge fit, keep every resume truthful and approve every submission.
4Merro
So we built it — so nobody has to do that work alone.
No tool did both: the tireless execution of software and the judgment of an experienced recruiter. So we started Merro.
An AI Recruiter Agent does the searching, matching and preparation. A human recruiter reviews and approves every application before it goes out. You see every application, the exact resume that was sent and every employer reply — no black box, no spray-and-pray, no invented experience, and no cut of your salary.
