Popp AI provides a conversational artificial intelligence tool designed to streamline recruitment processes and enhance candidate engagement at scale.
Popp AI has secured £3.6m in a seed funding round led by Emerge and SuperSeed Ventures. The capital will be deployed to expand market reach across enterprise recruitment teams, talent departments, and recruitment marketplaces while strengthening the core technology.
Founded in response to pandemic-era hiring bottlenecks, the company offers an open-ended conversational tool that automates candidate screening and evaluation. The fresh funds arrive following a period of technological refinement and go-to-market strategy development.
From the founder
"We saw how rigid and impersonal recruitment processes were failing both companies and candidates. During a time when human connection mattered more than ever, conversations were missing from the equation. We created Popp AI to fix that—by making it possible to engage candidates in meaningful dialogue, even at scale."
Sam Dhesi
CEO at Popp AI
Investor perspective
"We are thrilled to back Popp AI in this journey to revolutionise recruitment. The future of hiring lies in intelligent, scalable solutions that make processes more human, not less—and Popp AI is leading that charge."
