Lantern AI

Agentic recruiting platform for founders and HR leaders: it connects sourcing, application review, AI interviews, meeting intelligence and analytics through one shared hiring context built from a model of the talent market and a model of the company's own hiring criteria, notes, feedback and decisions; the team sets the hiring bar and makes the final decision.
