San Francisco, CA – May 14, 2025
SmartRecruiters, The Recruiting AI Company, today reaffirmed its category leadership, delivering on its vision, and announcing a bold preview of what’s to come. Specifically, the official public debut of Winston, the AI Recruiting companion; SmartOS, the intelligent Talent Operating System; modular packaging, and new, outcome-aligned pricing hits the market on June 10.

This is the future of talent acquisition.”
