Motivation found in Corona

The work of two brothers with robotics started during the Corona period. The father was in 'isolation' in a separate room due to corona. The two brothers then built a 'line-following' robot to deliver food to their father. Two brothers who were schoolboys of that time put black tape on the floor from the kitchen to the father's room. Infrared sensors would guide the robot. Following the black tape, he would reach the destination with the food.

Bootcamp doesn't end there. The six-month program was quite long. Agentichire had to be made a reality with a team of seven people from different countries. Seed funding also had to be raised. Two brothers confirmed the investment of 30 thousand dollars. Many organizations like Prime Bank, Bank Asia, Guardian Life Insurance, Sportify, Wavesparks and National Youth Council of Singapore have come forward. Other members of the team are also trying to bring in investments of their own.

Agentichire has made it to the top 3 in the event in Singapore after going through various stages. They have also participated in various events related to technology and business in Shanghai, Bangkok and Hong Kong.

Agenthire Key

Many startups don't have a dedicated recruiting team. It can be seen that the founder has to go through the CVs one by one, call or e-mail the candidates. Agentichire is trying to solve this problem. Artificial intelligence will do the primary job of candidate selection here. Not only will they review CVs, but they will also conduct interviews. Then create a written summary about each candidate. But the final hiring decision will be in the hands of the people – this startup ensures that too. Any organization can become a customer of AgenticHire with subscription.

How do you juggle studies, startups, and so much? When asked, Sabik said, 'To be honest, I am handling everything perfectly, it would be wrong to say. But yes, as each member of our team is from a different country, even if one is not there, the rest are handling it well.'

Where do you want to see Agentichire in five years? In response to the question, Shafi said, 'We want AgenticHire to make a positive impact around the world. Especially for small businesses and early-stage startups that don't have their own HR team. We also want people to remember where it all started—with the hands of two students from Bangladesh, who decided to build something together with partners from other countries through an accelerator program.'
