Meet the team

We've been there - done that

Squirrel is founded by two experienced builders who have built and scaled commercially successful AI products.

Will and Artem met at Imperial College London, and were even flatmates in their senior year. Since then they have both worked in the AI space, and have a shared vision for how AI can be used to transform the way companies hire. Both have spent years hiring technical and non-technical talent, and experienced first-hand the inefficiencies in the current hiring process.

Will was looking for a way to apply the AI tooling he had developed as part of his research at Georgia Tech to the real world. When hiring in late 2024 he realised just how bad the hiring process had become over the past few years and knew that there must be a better way.
