About

I’m building Lantern because hiring teams shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast and making a judgment they can defend. Lantern is the end-to-end AI Hiring Manager. Give Lantern an open role and it learns your team’s taste in a focused 15-minute calibration, pressure-tests that standard against the real talent market, then runs sourcing, interviews, assessments, candidate communication, and scheduling. Your team’s taste starts the search. Evidence earns an introduction. Lantern keeps the case for a fit, the case against it, and the remaining unknowns visible. Lantern runs the work. Your team sets the standard, meets the people worth meeting, and makes every hiring decision. YC F26
