Kyle Connors — CEO
I’m building candidate.fyi - the AI coordination engine modernizing how companies hire. Scheduling interviews is a huge part of what we do, but it’s just the start. We’re building the infrastructure that supports seamless coordination across the hiring process, empowering teams to focus on high-impact moments with candidates. Before this, I led engineering teams and built software used by millions. But I always wanted to start something of my own - something that tackled a problem with real human impact. Hiring always stood out to me. I’ve hired dozens of people over the years, and I’ve seen firsthand how important the interview process is - where impressions are formed, decisions are made, and careers can change. It’s one of the most critical moments for both candidates and employers - and yet, it’s often where things break down. So in 2022, I left my job - mortgage in hand, two kids at home (now three) - to launch a startup with my brother. We went all in. Since then, we’ve grown candidate.fyi into the platform powering the hiring experience for teams at Discord, Intercom, GoPro, Ballys, and more. We’ve out-shipped companies 10x our size - and earned every customer along the way. I’m obsessed with customer experience. I still run onboarding calls myself, listen to every pain point, and make sure we ship the best product possible. We’re still early - but we’re building something big.
