Calyptus, initially known for its success in placing talent within the blockchain industry, has now pivoted to address a broader and more pervasive challenge: the global shortage of professionals proficient in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation. The co-founders, Callum Crombie and Daniel Jones, observed the exceptional output levels of lean blockchain teams deeply skilled in automation tools like smart contracts, Cursor, Zapier, and ChatGPT. This starkly contrasted with the efficiency levels in other industries, where a significant majority—seven out of ten HR leaders—reported struggling to find talent with AI and automation fluency. Calyptus's new platform is designed to bridge this critical talent gap, empowering scaleups and enterprises to meet their digital transformation and cost-cutting mandates with high-impact candidates.
The core of Calyptus's new hiring platform lies in its unique vetting process, which prioritizes verified productivity over traditional paper credentials. The platform filters candidates based on curiosity, learning agility, and demonstrated real-world impact. Every candidate undergoes a structured AI-interview process, followed by an assessment specifically designed to test their proficiency in using real-world AI and automation tools. This rigorous approach ensures that only candidates who can truly deliver results in an AI-driven environment are made accessible to top employers. This innovative hiring engine aims to surface individuals who are not just knowledgeable about AI but are capable of applying it effectively to drive measurable change.
The adoption of AI-native talent through Calyptus's platform has yielded significant and quantifiable benefits for companies. Employers leveraging this new wave of professionals report a 66% higher team output, a 20% reduction in headcount costs, and a 21% increase in profitability. Furthermore, Calyptus's automated hiring platform significantly accelerates the recruitment process, allowing teams to source candidates four times faster than traditional methods, with an impressive average time-to-hire of just 17 days.
Dan Jones, CEO at Calyptus, emphasized, "The shift we’re seeing is clear: AI fluency has become a stronger signal of success than experience alone. We built Calyptus to surface people who can deliver results in this new era of talent." Darren Thayre, Head of Innovation & AI Partnerships at Google, further endorsed the platform, stating, "Calyptus is the first hiring platform that's intrinsically aligned with today’s objectives: productivity and profitability. AI is the new literacy and Calyptus is vetting at scale for leading startups and enterprises where these processes do not exist." The platform is now accepting candidates for technical, marketing, and commercial roles, with over 50 employers currently on the waitlist, set to join from late July to connect with this highly sought-after talent.
