What does AI-native mean in recruiting & talent?
In recruiting & talent, an AI-native firm makes AI central to how it delivers the work. A service firm takes on delivery for you; a software company provides tools your team uses. The distinction matters when comparing scope, human involvement, and responsibility.
Y Combinator’s service-company thesis describes the wider shift toward businesses that use AI to perform work for customers. This index brings those firms together with relevant software, with sources and delivery models kept explicit.

Does the service cover sourcing, screening or placement?
Check each stage separately. Candidate discovery, outreach, assessment, interview coordination and placement may sit with different teams or tools.
What should I ask about candidate coverage?
Confirm role families, seniority, candidate locations, screening criteria and the people responsible for hiring decisions. Ask how fees, replacement terms and candidate-data access work.
How do I use these profiles to make a shortlist?
Start with the delivery model and services, then compare company details, named examples and source links. Profiles describe published information; confirm current scope, availability and commercial terms directly with the company.
