UPPER Launches AI-Enabled Talent Sourcing Platform for Talent Teams

ATLANTA, GA, October 19, 2026

UPPER, a woman-founded, AI-enabled talent sourcing platform for end-to-end talent scouting, today announced its availability for talent teams and staffing firms in any industry.

Hiring breaks before the interview. A recruiter writes the job description, then spends days searching channel by channel, scoring resumes by eye, and chasing outreach that goes unanswered. UPPER removes that grind. Describe the role once and UPPER sources across major job channels at the same time, scores every candidate against the actual role - responsibilities, seniority, and evidence of the work, not keywords - runs outreach, and manages engagement until top-ranked candidates with CVs are ready to be contacted. The result is a ranked, evidenced shortlist a hiring manager can judge in minutes.

"UPPER exists because I watched the same week repeat: write the job description, burn days on manual searching and scoring, send outreach into the void, and lose the best people before the first call," said Rachel Messing, founder and CEO of UPPER. "So we built the machine to do the digging. Machines source, score, and recommend; people decide."

The company states that teams using UPPER save 50-70% of the time they previously spent on sourcing, screening, and outreach, and spend it instead on human-led conversations with top talent. AI is as disruptive to talent markets as it is beneficial, and those markets will change materially over the next 3-5 years. UPPER is built to bridge that gap, putting Rockstar talent to work every day.

The platform is available now to talent teams and staffing firms. Details, product information, and contact options are at https://www.upperlev.com.
