Coo

What it is

Coo is a recruiting agent from Cooper, an AI hiring platform that also offers screening, interviewing and applicant tracking. Recruiters start by writing a hiring brief covering skills, must-haves, team context and stage. Coo then searches beyond inbound applicants across what the company describes as more than 900 million profiles, weighs resume signals, fit, availability and intent, and sends qualified matches with an explanation for each. The recruiter reviews profiles and decides whom to contact. It can run on its own beside an existing ATS or within Cooper's platform. It targets startups, scaleups, agencies, high-volume and campus hiring teams, and distributed teams hiring across countries.

Editor's notes

More context from AI BirdView

Coo stands out by doing the sourcing legwork before anything lands in your inbox. Instead of waiting for applications, it works from a written hiring brief, searches widely for people who match and returns a short list with its reasoning attached, so recruiters spend time judging fit rather than hunting.

Searches what the company says is a pool of more than 900 million profiles, including passive candidates.
Qualifies candidates on resume signals, fit, availability and intent before surfacing them.
Every match comes with an explanation, which makes it easier to trust or overrule the agent.
Runs standalone next to an existing ATS or as part of Cooper, which also offers the Scout screening and Robin interviewing agents.
Offers either success-based pricing at 5 to 10% of annual base salary or monthly seat access that starts with 100 free profiles.

It is well suited to startups, scaleups and agencies filling many roles without a large sourcing team. A practical tip: invest time in the hiring brief, spelling out true must-haves versus nice-to-haves, since the quality of the qualified matches depends on how clearly the role is described.
