The Silicon Valley VC firm, Anderson Horwests, is backing a colonial launch in the UK that is trying to “re -praise” how AI is used to meet companies with capabilities.
DexSince the startup is called, it gives goals to candidates and companies, including various AI -powered smart, including match -making and coaching, which is towards improving the long -term maintaining.
Dex is the CTO crafts Harry Uglo And CEO Paddy lambros – While he says Dax has already lured about two dozen tech companies in the UK on the board (“including two high -profile UK Unicorn”), the platform is still in the closed beta because they fix things before launching later this year.

With Ai is rapidly connected to each other In the recruitment circle, Dax is entering a busy place – it includes New Zealand StartupsFor, for, for,. A well -packed unicorn with a well -financingAnd the new AI Smart Baked directly in LinkedIn. However, Dax sees a gap for all the platform on which laser is focused on Really Knowing candidates.
In the first example, Dex – which the company develops as a “AI Voice Talent Agent” – communicates with candidates through a call to get their experience, skills, ambitions and more. Subsequently, Dax can help them plan their next career move. Present them with relevant opportunities. Prepare them for an interview. And even their offerings they can receive.
It is worth noting that Dax will work for both passive candidates – that is, people who do not actively seek new jobs – and they are too hunting. For example, once Dex has created a candidate’s profile, he can place tabs on open positions promoted on the web – perhaps very specific character in very specific companies – and when such opportunities arise.
For those who are actively seeking new work, Daxes can go from search to application to nine yards.
Lambros explained to the Tech Crunch, “Dax speaks through your preferences and needs – and asks questions to deepen your experience and abilities.” “Using this data, Dax then makes the entire market map to find the right opportunities and offer you their levels. If you want to move forward, the Dax handles the request – no more CV, no more core litter – and when there is a match, you introduce the renting manager.”
So for candidates, Dex is a low market or job board, and more AI agents who do all the worldly things for them.
“We believe that candidates do not want to travel through hundreds of general job ads, so Dax saves you, scrolling, research, and then admin applying hours,” said Lambros.
After all, Dex can coach candidates for their interview and even provide market data on things like the average compensation of such characters.
In addition to the “set of large public data sets and thousands of interviews and calls”, Dax spoke with more than 50 “experienced recruitment leaders” in the UK to learn about their recruitment method, and what they look for in their ideal candidates, Lambros said. And all this data, eventually, went into Dex.
Under the hood, the Dax is made on numerous LLM providers, including open AI, Google (Gemini), and Meta (Lama), switching based on whatever improvement is brought with each relevant model.
“We are constantly reviewing the providers and changing it to ensure that we can benefit from the latest developments,” said Yugo.
On the company, in the meantime, Dax interacts with recruiting teams to set their priorities for their ideal candidate.
“Dex talks to seek the services of managers and candidates to understand that it looks like a great fit,” said Yoglo. “Culture, behavior, desires, needs, and the ambitions of individuals and companies. It is then mixed with a wide range of publicly available data, which empowers our recommendation system to prepare personal matches.”
With 1 3.1 million in the bank, the company is now getting its services in engineering and marketing, with the beginning of publicly starting in the UK before looking for international markets.
“Having services is not about filling seats – this is about setting up a lasting partnership that benefits employees and companies,” said Lambros. “With this funding, we will help companies maintain high capabilities and empower employees so they can find their work.”
