Secret sauce
Compaira Talent Profiling EngineTM created from
research undertaken during the PhD of our Founder,
supercharged by AI allowing a speedier and effective
recruitment process to find candidates with the right
aptitude-attitude-fit using more than just the traditional
skills (whole person)
Problem
Recruitment is costly. It cost large organisations an
average of £30,000 for each wrong hire. Recruiting the
wrong talent can easily hamper growth. At the same
time, unconscious bias and diversity are still prevalent.
Solution
Compaira allows fast growing tech companies to
identify and recruit the right talent with minimal effort
using AI and behavioural algorithms whilst removing
unconscious bias in the recruitment process and
improving the diversity and catering for inclusion.
Competitive Landscape
Fragmented market including Oracle (Taleo), SAP
(SuccessFactors), Lumesse, IBM (Kenexa), Linkedin and
Sage to new entrants Juggle Jobs and Beamery.
Differentiation and competitive advantage
Most competitors focus on skill matching. Compaira
takes the whole person into consideration going beyond
the skills using AI driven behavioural algorithm
developed using Founder’s PhD research.
Market opportunity
Global recruitment software market (also known as
Applicant Tracking Software) was £1.63bn in 2020.
Go-to-market strategy
Compaira will initially target Financial Services Sector
utilising existing Founder relationships due to two of the
Co-Founders coming from Credit Suisse. In terms of
medium term, Compaira will utilise Deal Lite to access
and target venture-backed UK tech companies.
Commercial and revenue model
Initial thoughts on pricing is based on monthly
subscription for use of platform, recruitment quota
bundles and 1% of annual salary on successful hires.
Value to be created
Compaira has already demonstrated that it can
assemble a diverse and experienced team to productise
Founder’s PhD research. In H2 2021, the company
started early commercialisation of the product. The
pre-seed capital raised will be used to demonstrate the
commercial opportunity further.
Funding and deployment of capital
2021 H1: Pre-Seed £350k (£150k SEIS + £200k EIS)
2022 H2: Seed to get to £10k MRR
2024 H2: Series A to get to £100k MRR
Pre-Seed funding is expected to significantly increase
the value of the company before Seed fundraise.
