About Recruo

Built by people who lived the hiring problem on both sides.

Recruo is an AI-augmented recruitment agency that delivers vetted shortlists of 3–5 engineering candidates in 5 days — AI-led CV and technical screening with human-reviewed decisions, for a success fee of typically 15%.

Recruo was founded in 2025 because every senior hire at our previous companies took 8+ weeks, ate 40 hours of engineer time, and still missed half the time. The fixes the market offered — buy another agency, hire an in-house recruiter, plug in an AI tool — all doubled down on the same broken pipeline. We thought the answer was a different shape: AI for the volume work, humans for every decision, and one team owning both halves.

So we built one.

Two-fifths of us ship the screening engine — training, voice agents, anti-cheat, and the product surface operators actually click on. The rest run every account end-to-end, from discovery call through 90-day retention. Four engineers. Six operators. No layer in between.

We pre-validate every shortlist with AI — and never let one ship without human sign-off.

Team

Meet the ten.

Faces, scopes, and a LinkedIn for whoever you'll be working with.

Oleh Datskiv — CEO at Recruo

Oleh Datskiv

CEO

Ten years shipping production AI in domains where a wrong output costs money or lives. Started Recruo after watching hiring tools either over-promise AI or under-use the human recruiter. Both are solvable — and Recruo is how.

Nikita Kiselov — CTO at Recruo

Nikita Kiselov

CTO

Hands-on engineer who has wired LLMs into production under real load. Owns Recruo's engine end-to-end: AI CV screening, adaptive interview agents, and the Secure Browser anti-cheat layer that keeps every scorecard defensible — and every hiring decision auditable.

Dmytro Ivashchenko — Chief Strategy Officer at Recruo

Dmytro Ivashchenko

Chief Strategy Officer

Came to AI from bank risk management — the discipline of pricing what can go wrong before it does. At Recruo he owns strategy: engagement models, market bets, and the pricing guardrails that keep every deal honest on both sides. Thinks in downside scenarios so clients don't have to.

Iryna Kokhan — Deep Learning AI R&D Engineer at Recruo

Iryna Kokhan

Deep Learning AI R&D Engineer

Deep Learning R&D engineer behind Recruo's evaluation models. Owns training and fine-tuning of the GenAI screening pipeline, builds the voice-agent stack that runs each technical interview, and runs the model-update loop as SOTA moves. The reason every scorecard stays reproducible quarter after quarter.

Ostap Pavlyshyn — Full-Stack AI Engineer at Recruo

Ostap Pavlyshyn

Full-Stack AI Engineer

Full-stack engineer who ships Recruo's AI research as product. Builds the candidate dashboards, scorecard surfaces, and ATS integrations that operators use day-to-day, and connects every model output to the place a human reviews it. AI-native engineering speed, without cutting corners on type safety or audit trails.

Maryna Hrynyshyna — Technical Recruitment Lead at Recruo

Maryna Hrynyshyna

Technical Recruitment Lead

Owns the human half of the six-step flow. Runs sourcing across the EU, LATAM and North America, leads every soft-skills interview, and signs off each AI scorecard before a shortlist ships. When the site says a human owns every decision — that human is Maryna.

Olena Ponomarchuk — Chief Business Development Officer at Recruo

Olena Ponomarchuk

Chief Business Development Officer

A decade across Sales, Customer Success, and GTM — startups through a successful B2B SaaS M&A exit. At Recruo she owns the buyer side of every engagement: scoping the first role on the 30-minute intake, then tracking the 90-day retention numbers that close the loop on every hire. Most CTOs meet her first.

Sofiia Senkiv — Product & Sales Manager at Recruo

Sofiia Senkiv

Product & Sales Manager

Two years building B2B AI products and owning the customer side of the loop — from kick-off through renewal.
