Founded by Arya Marwaha & Aditya Sood

Contrario was founded by Stanford dropouts Arya Marwaha (CEO, ex-BCG, led product at 5+ startups) and Aditya Sood (CTO, ex-NASA NLP, published at Stanford AI Lab x Anthropic).

They met in their first-year dorm at Stanford and have been building together ever since. Their firsthand experience on both sides of the hiring industry—Aditya as a candidate, and Arya as a recruiter—drove them to build an automated solution that bridges the gap.

❌ The Problem

Recruiting is one of the largest and most influential industries in the world, worth over $2T and employing 60M+ workers per year.

Yet, today’s recruiting market still follows outdated, manual processes from 20+ years ago – leaving candidates stuck with a poor job search experience. There are three major pain points:

1. Endless job applications with zero transparency
2. Low recruiter response rates leaving applicants in the dark
3. Flawed technical screens that don’t assess real-world skills

These challenges compound over time, widening a critical gap in the recruiting market.

Until now, people relied on referrals and network connections to have a better chance at getting more interviews. But with advancements in AI, this is finally changing …

‍

✅ Their Solution

At Contrario, they are a team of former candidates, recruiters, and AI experts using the latest technology to build the best candidate experience possible.

Candidates upload their resume once, and their platform instantly:

• Uses LLMs to dynamically generate talent cards that capture your top skills.
• Leverages AI-matching algorithms to connect you directly to HMs and CTOs at top companies.
• Conducts custom technical screenings, assessing candidate proficiency with AI developer tools.

With Contrario, candidates submit one application—and they handle the rest.

‍

🙏 Their Ask

If you answer “yes” to any of these, they would love your help:

✅ Know any new grads or junior engineers looking for full-time roles at top companies?

✅ Hiring founding engineers or top talent for your startup?

✅ Can you introduce them to HMs, recruiters, or companies looking for AI-driven hiring solutions?
