Cara takes on the transactional work of recruiting — inside the tools your team already uses, on the AI model you already run. [Book an intro →](https://www.socialtalent.com/get-in-touch) Why teams bring Cara in ## What changes when Cara joins the team. Capacity ### More done, per recruiter. The plan gets delivered without adding people. Consistency ### Best practice, every time. Fifteen years of hiring method behind every note, plan, and scorecard — not everyone doing it their own way. Trust ### Safe to bring in gradually. Start on one skill, in your own tools, on your own LLM — and expand as she earns it. Completeness ### The work that never gets done, now gets done. The intake questions nobody has time to ask. The debrief that gets skipped. The pipeline that never gets followed up. The big difference All without logging into a new platform. There's nothing to log in to. Cara isn't a place your team has to go — she works where they already work. **In Slack or Teams** No new tab, no new login, nothing new to learn. **At your speed** Nothing to migrate, so there's no rollout to stall. **She does the work** Usage isn't asked of the team — the output arrives. Where she works ## Already connected to the tools you run. Cara reaches your ATS, your HRIS, and your team's inbox and calendar through connectors your IT team already trusts — nothing new to procure. A selection of live connectors. Your stack, not ours.

SocialTalent has helped hiring teams through every shift the industry has thrown at them. **Cara inherits all of it.** The alternatives ## Proven. Plugged in. Configurable. The alternative ### A self-build Six to twelve months of engineering before the first useful output — and the hiring expertise still has to be written from scratch by people who don’t do the job. Cara is ### Fifteen years ahead SocialTalent’s hiring method, already encoded — while a self-build is still writing its first spec. The alternative ### A new platform or point solution A migration, a new login and a change-management programme, before anyone has done a single thing differently. Cara is ### Already logged in No migration. She runs inside the tools you have, on your own LLM. The alternative ### Rigid native ATS AI features Whatever your ATS vendor decided to ship, on their roadmap. Your changes go in a queue behind every other customer’s. Cara is ### Built around you She changes the moment you do — instantly, not on an engineer’s timeline. Comparing specific tools?

Safe and compliant ## Enterprise-safe by default. ### Never the hiring decision Cara can own completion of a task. Humans own the employment outcome. ### You set the approval level There’s always a human in the loop, at the approval level you set — and you move the dial. ### Never stored on our servers None of your data is stored on a SocialTalent server. It passes through our infrastructure only to connect your systems to your own AI model — never retained, never logged, never used to train anything. ### Your own LLM She uses your network, your tools, and the AI model you already run. ### Runs on your own model Cara’s reasoning runs entirely on your own AI model — your network, your tools, your model. SocialTalent provides the connective layer that securely relays instructions and data between systems, but never the decision-making itself. ### Supervised by design She’s brought in one skill at a time, as trust is earned. ## Meet your next great hire.
