How it works for startups

One conversation, from brief to hire.

We're launching with matching and consented shortlists first, then adding screening and interview scheduling.

01

Describe the role

In plain words, no job post. Mergd turns your brief into a scorecard and asks follow-ups until it knows who you need.

02

Get a shortlist that said yes

Engineers matched on what they've built and filtered on pay, location and notice. Every one has opted in.

03

Screened and scheduled

Every score links to its evidence. Interviews are booked across calendars, without the back-and-forth.

04

Hire, with support

Offer check-ins, notice-period follow-ups, and a backup candidate ready if a hire falls through.

Why Mergd

Hiring is broken for both sides.

Candidates feel ignored, and companies can't tell who's real.

51%

of candidates who finished an AI interview never heard back.

What engineers and hiring teams ask us most. Anything else? Email us.

  • Mergd is an AI talent agent that works over WhatsApp. Engineers tell it what they build and what they want next, and it matches them to real roles. Companies describe a role in plain words and get a ranked shortlist of engineers who have already agreed to be introduced. Over time it will also handle screening and interview scheduling, taking hiring from first chat to hired.

  • We're starting with engineering roles, because that's where we can judge real work best: GitHub, GitLab, LeetCode, Codeforces, Kaggle and Hugging Face. Mergd is built as a hiring platform, and data, product and design roles come next, once our engineering shortlists have proven themselves.

  • You message the agent on WhatsApp, share your dealbreakers (pay, location, notice period, visa, remote) and your public profile handles. It builds a living profile from your actual work. When a role fits, it asks you privately first, and nothing about you is shared until you say Yes.

  • Describe the role in plain language. No job post is needed. The agent turns your brief into a scorecard, matches on what engineers have actually built, applies hard filters for pay, location, notice period and visa, and returns a consented, ranked shortlist with match reasons.

  • Yes. Mergd never charges candidates any fee, now or later.

  • GitHub, GitLab, LeetCode, Codeforces, Kaggle and Hugging Face. It only reads public data from handles you share, verifies each handle with a one-time code you place in your public bio, and never asks for passwords or session cookies.

  • Not from us. You can hide your profile from named companies, pause your search or delete your profile at any time, and your identity is only shared with a company after you say Yes to that specific role.

  • Much faster than a job post, because there's no posting and no applicant pile to screen. Every person on the shortlist will have already opted in to the role. We're in our pilot now and will share real timelines once it's running.

  • Yes. Send your CV as a PDF right in the WhatsApp chat, and I'll combine it with your public work from GitHub, LeetCode and the rest. What goes away is filling in the same application form for every role.

  • Mergd is being built now and is in its concierge pilot stage. Early access will open to a small group of engineers and 10 to 15 design-partner startups first. Join the waitlist to be told when it's your turn.

  • Yes. Early-stage companies hiring engineers can use it free during the pilot in exchange for a thumbs up or down, with a reason, on each shortlisted candidate.
