Standout

An AI talent agent that scouts roles and introduces candidates to founders

Visit Standout

Standout is an AI agent for job seekers that scouts startup roles, drafts warm introductions to founders, and books meetings on the candidate's calendar. Candidates remain anonymous until they accept an introduction, and they choose who learns they are open to opportunities. The company also offers a hiring-side product that sources candidates from LinkedIn and GitHub, pre-screens inbound applications, and manages follow-ups such as stage moves, rejections, and next-step emails.

For candidates, the agent connects to LinkedIn to read their background, holds a conversation to learn preferences, and delivers hand-picked roles in chat with match scoring and compensation context; booking happens inside the conversation. For companies, Standout provides warm intros, on-demand sourcing across LinkedIn and GitHub, inbound pre-screening, and pipeline operations, with a Slack-based flow that reads a company's site to calibrate team, stack, stage, and hiring needs. The candidate side is offered as a free plan with onboarding in about ten minutes; no pricing details are given for the hiring-side product.
