Rolebot

What Rolebot does

Rolebot is an AI-powered candidate sourcing company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California (incorporated in Delaware). The company built an "Intelligent Recruitment Engine" that uses AI to identify and surface potential job candidates for HR and recruiting teams, addressing manual sourcing inefficiencies and low candidate response rates that characterize traditional recruitment workflows. Its technology combines AI-driven candidate matching with automation capabilities and is deployed within a SOC II Type 2-compliant platform, a meaningful trust signal for enterprise HR buyers handling sensitive candidate data. The company's primary customer segment is the HR and recruiting industry, with a vertical segmentation approach focused on companies seeking recruitment automation and improved sourcing workflow efficiency.

Rolebot's product architecture centers on proprietary AI sourcing technology that is positioned as a domain-specialized solution. Following the August 2025 merger with Visage, a recruitment-automation provider, the combined entity operates under the Visage brand and integrates Rolebot's AI sourcing layer with Visage's existing automation platform, ATS integrations, and human sourcer services. This hybrid model — AI sourcing paired with human sourcers and workflow automation — is the combined entity's central differentiator. The merged platform delivers end-to-end recruitment automation with AI-powered candidate sourcing as a core component, supported by undisclosed funding raised concurrent with the merger to accelerate product integration and expansion.

Rolebot's business model is B2B SaaS targeting the HR and recruiting vertical. The company raised approximately $4.84 million in disclosed equity funding between 2020 and 2022 from investors including Data Point Capital, LAUNCH, Uncorrelated Ventures, and Upfront Ventures Community Fund. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no named customer logos, revenue figures, or contract value benchmarks are available in the source data. Founder and CEO Shane Bernstein led the company through its independent phase and into the Visage merger, after which the tools, team, and platform are reported to operate under the Visage brand.
