Needle

Needle is an AI-native applicant tracking system (ATS) built for early-stage companies where hiring speed and selection accuracy matter. It combines core candidate tracking with autonomous agents that handle routine work and keep candidate data up to date.

A self-updating ATS for fast-moving teams

Needle tracks every interaction with a candidate and automatically updates profiles, notes, and pipeline statuses. Recruiters don’t need to manually move information between stages—communication history, applications, and interview outcomes stay in one place and in context.

Built-in AI agents for recruiting workflows

Needle includes agents that support key hiring tasks and can be configured using natural language, making it easier to adapt the pipeline to your process without complex setup.

• Initial candidate screening
• Finding and surfacing relevant resumes
• Scheduling interviews
• Coordinating calendars and availability

Better context in every interview

During interviews, Needle surfaces the right candidate context—previous touchpoints, team notes, and role requirements—helping reduce mistakes and speed up decisions, especially for startups where each hire has an outsized impact.
