Popp

Popp is the ultimate AI copilot for talent and recruitment teams, eliminating manual recruitment tasks by automating conversations, screening, and application processes. Founded by Sam Dhesi, James Cochrane-Dyet, and Ilyes Benmansour, Popp AI addresses the recruiting inefficiencies the co-founders witnessed during the coronavirus pandemic. “During a time when human connection mattered more than ever, conversations were missing from the equation,” said CEO Dhesi (Former Head of Emerging Technology to UK Government during COVID-19). “We created Popp AI to fix that—by making it possible to engage candidates in meaningful dialogue, even at scale.” The company has raised £3.6 million in a seed funding round led by Emerge and SuperSeed Ventures.

Popp needed to demonstrate their commitment to security and data handling to gain trust with their primary customer base, large companies looking to simplify hiring processes. Founders, coming from diverse backgrounds, were unfamiliar with security compliance and busy dedicating their time to further building their product.

Agency has worked directly with Popp pre-product and clients to help to prepare them for successful audits. This not only gave senior leadership more time to manage their rapidly-growing company, but also provided peace of mind knowing that experienced professionals were handling all of their cybersecurity needs.

Thanks to our tailored approach, Popp was able to:

‍

1. Gain Key Compliance Requirements

Agency worked alongside Popp from development to help them reach key requirements including SOC2, ISO 27001, and HIPPA. 

‍

2. Build Infrastructure Advisory

Consulted with the CTO on infrastructure advisory as the company built its security posture. 

‍

3. Increase Security Questionnaire Responses

Popp’s sales team saw a significant improvement in their ability to handle security diligence inquiries, helping the sales team close deals faster and with less disruption to their workflow.
