Popus is an AI recruiting platform built for third-party search and headhunting agencies — it scans the live hiring market for new business, matches your full talent pool with semantic AI search, generates client-ready deliverables in multiple languages including English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, and runs your billing so no fee slips through.
Built for the way modern search firms actually work
From boutique desks in Taipei to teams scaling into Japan — Popus fits agencies that live on success-fee placements.
Outcomes, not features
Popus is built around the results that grow a search firm — with serious, modern AI doing the legwork.
Autonomous market intelligence
AI agents continuously scan the live hiring market and surface fresh, high-intent search opportunities every day. AI-built, branded public job pages turn that interest into applicants — so your pipeline of new business fills itself.
Semantic AI talent matching
Search your entire talent pool in plain natural language. Embeddings-powered vector search instantly understands intent and ranks best-fit candidates — up to 1,024 per query — feeding a full AI-assisted source-to-hire pipeline.
Generative client deliverables
One-click, AI-generated candidate reports, contracts, and invoices — auto-formatted and localized into multiple languages including English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, so every client touchpoint looks bespoke.
Intelligent revenue ops
An AI-organized client CRM with a unified event timeline tracks every interaction and automates invoicing, billing, and bonuses — so no fee ever slips through the cracks.
Agentic, full-context AI
Direct a team of AI agents that understand your entire book of business and instantly answer anything about a specific company, case, or candidate. You set the direction, review, and approve — your agents do the legwork and multiply your output.
Real-time client delivery
Skip the static PDF. Share one link to a live delivery dashboard — a clean summary plus each candidate delivered in real time. Clients leave feedback and update status inline, so your pipeline and theirs stay perfectly in sync.
An AI platform, end to end
Everything a search firm does — sourcing, matching, delivery, billing — connected and AI-assisted.
Natural-language talent search
Ask for what you need the way you'd brief a colleague. Vector search reads intent, not just keywords, and ranks your whole pool instantly.
One-click resume import
Drop in resumes and let AI structure them into clean, searchable profiles — no manual data entry.
Source-to-hire pipeline
Move candidates through every stage with an AI-assisted workflow that keeps cases moving and nothing dropped.
Client-ready reports
Generate polished candidate reports, contracts, and invoices in multiple languages including English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese with one click.
Client CRM & timeline
A unified timeline of every interaction with each company and contact — organized for you, not by you.
Branded public job pages
AI-built, server-rendered job pages on your brand that turn market interest into inbound applicants.

Your most sensitive asset, protected
Search firms hand us candidate and client data. We treat it like a serious, world-class technologist should — and we help you operate compliantly in every market.
Concrete data protection
Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), strict least-privilege role-based access, per-tenant data isolation, audit logging, automated encrypted backups with disaster recovery, and vetted subprocessors — all on reputable AWS infrastructure.
Privacy by design
Data minimization and purpose limitation, clear consent handling for candidate data, and data-subject rights (access, correction, deletion) honored on request. A DPA is available to clients on request.
Compliance built in
Built around proper compliance requirements — workflows and product design that bake compliance in — so simply operating on the platform helps you stay on the right side of local data-protection and recruiting rules, and lowers your risk. Aligned with Taiwan's PDPA, Japan's APPI, and applicable US privacy law.
A defensible audit trail
Audit logs, activity history, and reports you can produce for a regulator or government review if ever required — so you can show what was done, by whom, and when. Reliable record-keeping, made easy.
