About sense

In 2016, four visionary entrepreneurs—Anil Dharni, Alex Rosen, Ram Gudavalli, and Pankaj Jindal—came together to address a critical gap in the staffing industry. They founded Sense, an AI-powered talent engagement platform designed to enhance communication and reduce turnover in the staffing sector. Their mission was clear: to transform how staffing agencies interact with talent, making the process more efficient and personalized.

Read full description

Sense quickly gained traction, leveraging its innovative approach to streamline talent engagement. The platform provided staffing agencies with tools to maintain continuous communication with candidates, ensuring a seamless experience from recruitment to placement. This approach not only improved candidate satisfaction but also increased redeployment rates, a key metric for staffing firms.

In December 2021, Sense reached a significant milestone by securing $50 million in Series D funding, led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2. This infusion of capital was pivotal, enabling the company to accelerate its growth and expand its suite of AI-driven tools. With this funding, Sense continued to innovate, further solidifying its position as a leader in the talent engagement space.

Today, Sense stands as a testament to the power of innovation in addressing industry-specific challenges. By focusing on the needs of staffing agencies and their candidates, Sense has redefined the recruitment process, setting a new standard for talent engagement in the digital age.
