- AIRA is one of Latin America´s most innovative ATS that helps recruiters find, select and hire their new talent. We´re a B2B SaaS active in 17 countries / 3 languages, and offer a wide range of solutions to help make recruitment as efficient, meritocratic, and fun as can be. Our "Artificial Intelligence Recruitment Assistant" (AIRA) is highly valued by both companies AND job applicants, who consistently evaluate us highly (+62 NPS). Our company participated in Startup Chile Gen 14, interviewed for Y Combinator, and ultimately achieved all growth 100% bootstrapped. - As a Co-Founder, I’ve set up Customer Success/Product Areas, managed employees, and gradually specialized in Product. I've been directly involved in the end-to-end design of most features, and have worn virtually all "Product Hats" (strategy, management, research, , design, UX, copywriting, PRD, communication, stakeholder management, etc)
