Vela is an AI recruiting coordinator. Cc it on any email thread and it takes over: candidate screens, multi-round loops, and full panels. It offers times, chases people who go quiet, handles reschedules, sends the resume with the invite, books prep calls, and collects feedback. Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, and phone, every time zone, 24/7. No links, no logins, nothing new for your team to learn. Trusted by The World's Best Recruiters, and backed by YC, CRV, and other incredible investors.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Gobhanu, co-founder of Vela. Vela is the only scheduling agent trained specifically on recruiting scheduling data.
The problem
If you have ever run an executive search, you know the drill. One placement means six-plus rounds: a hiring committee, a board member three timezones away, a candidate who can only talk at 7am before their current job notices. Every round is a new permutation.
And here is the part that breaks every existing tool: you have read/write access to exactly zero of those calendars. You are not scheduling for yourself. You are brokering between parties who have never met.
So you live in the reply-all thread. Propose, get declined, repropose, chase, repeat. Most firms solve this by hiring coordinators. Scheduling links do not work, because the person you need to book is not your user.
What Vela does
You CC Vela on the email thread. That is the whole onboarding. No new tool, no workflow change.
From there Vela:
Runs the back and forth exactly like a professional coordinator would, in your firm's voice
Handles the edge cases: reschedules, no-shows, "can we push 30 minutes," five people across three timezones
Sends the calendar invite with the resume attached and the right video link
Works across email, SMS, and WhatsApp, 24/7
