Why Rafiki

The talent pool your AI assistant can actually use

The old way

  • × Inboxes full of AI-written applications
  • × CV keyword matching that can't tell shipped from listed
  • × Weeks of screening before a single intro
  • × Another portal, another login, another form
  • × A full-time commitment for fractional work

The Rafiki way

  • Brief in plain English from Claude, ChatGPT or Slack
  • Matched on real skills, AI fluency and project history
  • A recruiter checks every shortlist before it reaches you
  • Vetted profiles back in the same thread
  • Senior fractional and micro-agency, from a few days a week
How it works

From brief to shortlist, in the same thread

No new dashboard, no forms. The pool lives where you already work.

What's powering it? Rafiki Talent Agent runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, the open standard for connecting a service to an AI assistant. Connect it once and Claude, ChatGPT or Slack can search the pool for you, no separate app to download. Want your own MCP? →

Who it's for

One pool, four ways to put it to work

Recruiters

A shortlist to place

You keep the client and the fee. We stay the bench.

Placing senior or AI-enabled roles? Brief the role and get a vetted shortlist to put straight in front of your client. We never go direct, so your relationship and your placement stay yours.

Agencies

A pod to subcontract

Take the work you'd otherwise turn away.

Past capacity, or missing a capability in-house? Pull in vetted senior contractors or a specialist micro-agency to cover the overspill. Deliver the project without permanent headcount.

In-house TA

A bench to draw on

One vetted source instead of five agencies.

Carrying a heavy req load? Tap senior, AI-fluent talent straight to your shortlist, already mapped to your sector and stage. Fill faster and lean less on outside agencies.

Companies

A team to ship

Senior output without a senior hire.

Have an AI or automation build and no team trained on it? Get a Claude-certified pod that can deliver, fractional and fast. We can manage it end to end, or hand it over once it's live.

Case study · Rafiki Talent Agent

We built this for ourselves first.

Rafiki Talent Agent puts our bench of vetted specialists inside Claude, with ChatGPT and Slack live too. Describe the role in plain language and search_talent returns a matched shortlist in seconds; pool_stats breaks the bench down by role and region. A recruiter checks every shortlist before it goes out, so there's always a human touchpoint.
