The brief
An HR team was buried under spreadsheets, entering candidate data by hand across disconnected tools and struggling to match applicants to openings. Key roles went unfilled while the team spent more time on admin than on people. They needed AI automation to take the busywork off the team and surface the right candidates faster.
The work
Recruitment relied on platforms that did not talk to each other: manual candidate entry, inconsistent job data, slow and error-prone matching, and little insight for hiring decisions.
We built Sidechain, an AI-powered recruitment platform. Company data is pulled automatically from Crunchbase and candidates sync in real time from Folk CRM via Zapier; an AI matching engine using Claude Sonnet and Gemini scores every candidate against every opening, surfaced in a fast React and Supabase dashboard.
Candidate matching became 50% faster, hiring accuracy improved 30%, and manual data entry fell 80%, and the platform scales effortlessly as the business grows.
