Paradox, Inc.

Paradox, Inc. is a recruiting automation software company founded in 2016 by Aaron Matos and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company builds conversational AI tools designed to handle repetitive tasks in the hiring process, including candidate screening, interview scheduling, and new-hire onboarding.

The company's primary product is Olivia, an AI assistant that communicates with job candidates through chat, SMS, and mobile interfaces. Olivia is designed to handle high-volume hiring workflows, and Paradox has positioned the product toward large employers in industries such as retail, food service, and healthcare. Customers have included companies such as McDonald's, Unilever, and Nestle, who use the platform to manage large applicant volumes with reduced recruiter involvement.

Paradox raised a $200 million Series C round in 2022, bringing its total disclosed funding to approximately $200 million and valuing the company at over $1.5 billion. The round was led by Apax Digital. The company has grown its headcount significantly following that raise and has expanded its product suite to include features such as offer management and career site tools.
