Read our story
At Popp AI, we’re driven by the lessons we learned solving some of the UK’s biggest challenges.
During the pandemic, Sam led Emerging Tech for the British Government, while James served as Chief of Staff to the NHS COVID Crisis Team. In the face of a global crisis, we quickly scaled emergency operations—processing thousands of applications and onboarding hundreds of people each month. When we brought Ilyes Benmansour onboard as CTO, a third co-founder with a track record of building large-scale AI systems, we knew we had the team to tackle something bigger.
What we realised is that the traditional hiring process struggles to keep up at scale. Human intuition, the cornerstone of great hiring, doesn’t translate easily into high-volume recruitment. Most automation tools attempt to replace that intuition with rigid, machine-led systems, but we knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why we built Popp: to help recruiters scale their own intuition, not replace it. Our platform allows you to seamlessly integrate your unique hiring methods into an AI-powered assistant capable of conducting thousands of in-depth screening conversations at once. The result? Technology that scales human insight, making it possible to hire smarter and faster—without losing the personal touch.
