How Zee Works

What is Zee?
The agentic recruiting platform from Talentz.ai. Three agents source, engage, and assess every candidate, then hand you decision-ready findings. You make the hire.
What do the three agents do?
Zee Scout finds candidates by proof of work. Zee Engage runs the conversation across every channel. Zee Lens assesses each one and writes the findings.
Does Zee make the hiring decision?
No. Zee does the work and surfaces the evidence. A human reviewer checks each step, and your hiring manager makes the call.
What does decision-ready mean?
Interest confirmed, skills matched, proof of work reviewed, structured interview done. You skip screening and go straight to the decision.
What do I get back on each candidate?
A decision-ready packet. Structured findings against the role's skill matrix, ready for your final round.
How does Zee improve hiring quality?
It replaces resume screening with structured evaluation and scorecards. Better decisions, fewer mis-hires.
How does Zee keep hiring fair?
Same structured evaluation for everyone, protected attributes out of scoring, every decision logged, including the rejections.
Is Zee compliant with hiring regulations?
Zee is built to align with the frameworks now governing hiring: the EU AI Act, NYC Local Law 144, Illinois AIVIA, Colorado SB 205, and EEOC guidance. Every decision is logged and explainable, including the rejections.
Does my hiring data help competitors?
No. Zee learns your bar from your roles, and that learning stays yours. It never transfers to anyone else, and it sharpens every cycle.

Pricing & Payment

How does Zee pricing work?
Two plans, no subscriptions. Zee Managed is 10% on success for technical and engineering roles. Zee Custom is tailored pricing for scaled hiring.
What does the 10% cover?
The full search. Sourcing, outreach, structured evaluations, and decision-ready findings on every candidate. No add-ons.
What is the 10% calculated on?
First-year salary, base plus bonus. Benefits and 401(k) excluded.
What is the 1% platform fee?
Due within a week of your first interview and credited toward the 10%, not on top.
When do I pay?
On a successful hire. Nothing upfront, no per-seat or per-message fees. The only earlier charge is the 1%, credited toward the total.
What if Zee never finds anyone worth interviewing?
You pay nothing. The 1% only starts once a real candidate reaches the interview.

Working With Zee

Who is Zee for?
Early-stage and growth-stage tech teams hiring their hardest roles, from founding engineers to key GTM hires.
Which plan is right for me?
Zee Managed for technical and engineering roles you pay for on success. Zee Custom for executive search, high-volume RPO, or licensing in-house.
What roles can Zee handle?
Engineers, developers, marketers, operations, HR, and every role a startup needs. Our edge is curated engineering and go-to-market talent.
What's included with Zee Managed?
A dedicated account lead, a human reviewer at every stage checking the agents' work against quality gates, and service tuned to your roles and your bar.
Do I need an internal recruiting team?
No. Zee Managed runs the process end to end. If you have recruiters, the agents handle the repetition.
How do I get started?
Bring one live role. Zee starts sourcing within a day or two, and you see decision-ready findings before you commit to more.
How fast can I expect candidates?
Sourcing starts within a day or two. First decision-ready candidates usually arrive in about a week.
What's the candidate experience like?
A two-way conversation on the channel they prefer, plus a structured interview they take on their own schedule. Opt-outs are honored automatically.
Can Zee integrate with our ATS and tools?
Yes. Zee works across Slack, Teams, email, text, and web, syncs with your ATS, and connects to your stack over MCP.
What if a new hire doesn't stay?
If a hire resigns within 30 days, we run a replacement search for the same role at no extra fee for 60 days. Effort-based, not a guaranteed hire.
