TalentGrok

Grok recruiting agent that sources, screens, and learns from replies.

Walkthrough from the xAI Hackathon
Problem
Recruiting still leans on keyword search and cold LinkedIn blasts, which miss the people actually shipping research and treat every outreach the same.
Approach
Source from ArXiv into GitHub, rank with Grok plus FAISS instead of keywords, and close the loop with a bandit on hire/unhire. Outreach and calendar booking sit on Grok with Gmail and Google Calendar.
Outcome
Built at the xAI Hackathon with Mukta Jaiswal and Tyler Li. Live demo of the pipeline UI, sourcing, screening, and scheduled outreach.
