untapt is a global recruiting platform[2] that automates the hiring process in the FinTech and financial services industry.[3] It uses an algorithm to match candidates with companies looking for employees.[4] untapt focuses on sourcing technology employees for banks, consulting firms, FinTech startups, and hedge funds.[5] In February 2015, the company became the first automated recruiting platform for FinTech after it officially launched from a successful beta.[6]

untapt was founded by Ed Donner, Geoff Massam, and Max Kantelia. Donner is a former managing director at JP Morgan, Massam is a former CIO at Deutsche Bank, and Kantelia is an entrepreneur in recruitment and FinTech.[5] The company was founded to automate the recruiting process to reduce the cost for companies looking to hire tech employees.[5] Candidates sign up on the site for free and employers post as many jobs as they want for free. Employers are only charged after they successfully hire a candidate.[5]

untapt uses a proprietary algorithm to match employers with candidates and then connects them directly.[4] The algorithm analyzes factors that include skills, experience and education to match candidates.[4] In April 2015, untapt obtained $3 million in funding from Series A Preferred Stock financing which was led by Tsai Capital.[7][8]
