For individuals, it acts as an AI job search agent, helping them discover work without limits.

Haystack then matches them to live roles at reputable companies, explicitly showing why each role is a good fit based on their profile.

The platform's AI agent takes on the heavy lifting of applications. Once a job seeker approves a role, the agent tailors their resume, writes a cover letter, answers screening questions, and submits the application directly through employer systems like Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, and Teamtailor. All replies and interview invites land in the user's Haystack inbox, allowing for one-click acceptance.
For employers, Haystack offers a streamlined hiring solution. They can post their first role for free and meet verified candidates across various fields including marketing, sales, finance, operations, people, and tech. Haystack's AI matches and pre-screens candidates, presenting employers with a shortlist rather than a pile of resumes. This significantly reduces the time to hire, with many teams making critical hires in 21 days or less.
Haystack provides flexible hiring options, including Self-serve, Flex (pay-per-hire), and Enterprise plans. The Self-serve option allows employers to post a role free, view the first two applicants, and then unlock all applicants for a fee, with a guarantee of 10 candidates. The Flex plan offers expert support for sourcing and screening, with payment only upon successful hire. For larger teams, the Enterprise plan includes a dedicated Customer Success Manager, ATS integrations, and tailored SLAs. Haystack aims to eliminate agency fees and retainers, connecting employers directly with ambitious, verified talent.
