Rebuilt from scratch: AI-first hunt setup and smart outreach
Hunt creation is now AI-first. The recruiting assistant is live. Smart outreach sequences adapt automatically. Here's everything we rebuilt in January.

We rebuilt Umamy from the ground up
Over the past few months, users shared what wasn't working. We listened and rebuilt the hunt creation experience from scratch — a smooth, step-by-step flow that takes you from defining criteria to reaching out to candidates in one place. Here's everything that shipped.
AI-powered candidate assessment
Manually reviewing every LinkedIn profile is gone. The new AI assessment engine evaluates every candidate against your scorecard criteria and gives you an instant match score.
- Analyzes candidate experience, skills, and background automatically
- Maps qualifications to your specific hiring criteria
- Highlights exactly why candidates are (or aren't) a good fit
- Shows detailed breakdowns for each criterion
AI recruiting assistant
Setting up a new role used to feel like filling out endless forms. The AI recruiting assistant is like sitting down with an experienced recruiter who asks all the right questions.
- Natural conversation instead of blank forms
- Smart follow-up questions based on your answers
- Gathers everything: job requirements, experience levels, keywords, language needs
- AI suggests criteria based on what you describe
Voice input supported — type or talk, your choice. Works at your pace — pause and come back anytime. Automatically generates a detailed candidate requirements document.
LinkedIn job post sync
Already posted a job on LinkedIn? Bring those candidates straight into Umamy. Pick your LinkedIn job post and we'll automatically import all applicants, sync new applications daily, and score each candidate against your criteria.
No more switching tabs. No more manual copy-paste.
Automated outreach sequences
Found great candidates? Reach out to hundreds of them — personally. The sequence builder creates multi-step outreach campaigns with:
- Personalized connection requests with custom notes
- Automated intro messages after connection acceptance
- Smart follow-up reminders (e.g., "Wait 3 days")
- Template variables for personalization (name, company, experience, etc.)
Coming next: ATS integrations
Direct integrations with leading ATS platforms are in progress, starting with Ashby. Sync candidates from Umamy to your ATS automatically, keep candidate status in sync across platforms, and eliminate double data entry.
Every feature here came from user feedback — sharing what's working, what's frustrating, and what's missing.
