"The talent agent for senior software engineers." Every candidate has a voice or text conversation with Dex's AI agent about their experience, goals and deal-breakers. An employer briefs Dex once on what "great" looks like. Dex's matching engine and its human "matchmaker and talent team" then send a small flow of warm, opt-in introductions through Ashby, Slack or the existing process. Dex does not sell software to recruiters; it charges a placement fee. The employer runs the interviews and makes the offer. Source: [meetdex.ai](https://meetdex.ai/).
