Embedded agents for recruiting firms.

One office split by a wall: a recruiter on the phone at her desk, and behind the wall pigeons in postal caps filing, typing, sorting mail and passing a folder through a hatch

We build agents around how your firm works and speed up your searches so you make more placements.

Then you can get back to meeting people and putting them in the right rooms.

You’re managing tools, not your work.

Check the ATS. Sift through Gmail. Open LinkedIn. Update the spreadsheet. Paste the call notes.

Software forces you to conform to its way of working.

How Kin works

  1. A recruiter shows three pigeons around her office while they measure it

    Agents built to order.

    We sit with your team and learn how your searches run: your tools, your process, and how you like to work.

  2. A recruiter talks on her phone walking through Washington Square Park, a pigeon in a postal cap walking alongside taking notes

    Delegate wherever you are.

    Message Kin in iMessage, email, or Slack, or leave a voice memo on a walk.

  3. Five o’clock: the recruiter heads out in her coat while a pigeon in a postal cap sits at her desk on the phone, and two more file in the back

    The agents do the busywork.

    Sourcing candidates, catching follow-ups, drafting outreach, keeping the ATS up to date.

  4. A recruiter and a candidate talk on a park bench while a pigeon in a postal cap sits between them reading the paper

    You focus on the people.

    Kin brings you the decisions and conversations that need you. Nothing goes to a candidate or client until you send it.

I’m Derek, an engineer by trade. I started New York AI in 2022 and began helping startups in the community hire top talent.

I found searching, sifting, and drafting so painful that I built recruiting software to help, then stopped using it because agents did more than my software could.

Now I build those agents for recruiting firms. When you work with Kin, you work with me.
