This week on The RAG Podcast, I’m revisiting my chat with Jordan Shlosberg, founder of Atlas, the first AI-first CRM built for the recruitment market. Jordan’s no stranger to scale. Before Atlas, he founded Prosapien, growing it to $40 million in revenue in just five years before exiting. He’s now bringing the same disruptive approach to recruitment technology. We talk about: How Atlas uses AI to eliminate low-value admin work for recruiters Why the recruitment industry is ripe for disruption Lessons from scaling and exiting Prosapien His vision for building a CRM that recruiters actually want to use How he’s creating a culture where employees share in the company’s success Jordan’s mission is to give recruiters more time to do what they do best, building relationships and making placements, while Atlas handles the admin. If you’re questioning whether your CRM is keeping up with AI’s potential, this is one to watch. -------------------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Introduction to The Rag Podcast and Guest Jordan Shlosberg 02:51 Jordan's Entrepreneurial Journey and Background 05:57 The Birth of Atlas and AI in Recruitment 08:51 The Role of Family Background in Entrepreneurial Drive 12:03 Transition from Finance to Entrepreneurship 15:03 Building ProSapient: The First Company 18:06 Growth Strategies and Challenges in ProSapient 20:55 Technology's Impact on Business Operations 23:52 Navigating Funding and Investment Rounds 26:41 The Evolution of Leadership and Management 29:47 The Future of Atlas and AI in Recruitment 43:54 Navigating a Competitive Recruitment Landscape 45:31 Building Software for Recruitment Success 48:48 Innovating in Recruitment Technology 50:31 The Future of Spec CVs and AI Integration 58:30 Streamlining Administrative Tasks with AI 01:00:27 Enhancing Data Management and Reporting 01:08:37 Customer Support and User Experience 01:17:42 Vision for the Future of Atlas __________________________________________ Episode Sponsor: Atlas Your memory isn’t perfect. So Atlas remembers everything for you. Atlas is an end-to-end recruitment platform built for the AI generation. It automates your admin so you can focus on the business tasks that matter. How many conversations do you have every day? With clients. Candidates. Your team. Service providers. Now how many of those conversations can you recall with 100% accuracy? How many hours a week do you spend making notes to try and retain as much as possible? And how much is still getting lost along the way? Traditional CRM systems weren’t built for the type of recruitment business you’re running right now. They were built to rely on the structured, tagged, categorised, and formal data you could feed it. Manual processes that needed you to input specific information, based on specific questions and answers. But what about all the other conversations you’re having every single day? Atlas isn’t an ATS or a CRM. It’s an Intelligent Business Platform that helps you perform 10X better than you could on your own. How? By removing all your low value tasks, acting as your perfect memory, and providing highly relevant recommendations to impact your performance.
