AI-powered tech talent marketplace connecting 100,000+ engineers with employers
Haystack operates a two-sided marketplace for tech hiring, combining AI vetting with a large UK-based talent pool. The tech stack reflects dual operational modes: consumer marketing tools (Adobe Suite, social platforms) for talent acquisition, and enterprise infrastructure (Python, Kubernetes, AWS, RAG, Spark) for matching and data processing. Rapid hiring acceleration across engineering (268 roles) and data (87 roles) signals platform scaling, while active projects around microservices, data platforms, and RAG pipelines indicate product-layer complexity moving beyond simple matching.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Sales, Telephony Team Lead, Tech Lead, Chief Technology Officer
