About Galileo

Every hire is two searches - a person looking for the right role, and a company looking for the right person. For two years, Jobright worked only the first one. 2 million professionals now use our AI agent to find roles, sharpen how they show up, and get in front of the people hiring. Earlier this year, we started working the second. Employers can now put Jobright on a role. Our AI recruiter sources from the professionals who already trust us, verifies every candidate is real, and reaches out under a name candidates recognize, which is why they reply. What reaches the hiring team is a list of people worth interviewing, within 24 hours. All they do is interview. Two searches. One platform. Agents on both sides that keep working until both sides say yes.
