Nancy Xu, CEO & Founder of Moonhub: $10 Million Raised to Power the Future of AI-Driven Recruiting

Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Nancy Xu, CEO & Founder of Moonhub, an AI recruiting platform that's raised over $10 Million in funding.

Here are the most interesting points from our conversation:

• The Genesis of Moonhub: Nancy's background in AI and her experience at Stanford inspired her to address inefficiencies in the recruiting industry, particularly the lack of technology in recruiting agencies.


• Early Days: For the first six months, Moonhub operated as a recruiting agency, allowing Nancy and her team to deeply understand the processes and pain points that recruiters face daily.


• AI’s Impact on Recruiting: Nancy believes AI is one of the most significant technological breakthroughs, on par with the invention of electricity and the internet. Moonhub leverages AI to automate and enhance recruiting workflows.


• AI Adoption Challenges: Recruiters and hiring managers recognize the need to adopt AI but are often hesitant due to concerns about the technology. Moonhub addresses this by combining AI with human recruiters, offering a hybrid solution that eases adoption.


• AI Evolution in Real-Time: Nancy shared how the perception of AI has shifted drastically in the past few years, from being a niche concept to a mainstream technology that everyone is talking about.


• Moonhub’s Unique Approach: Unlike fully autonomous AI solutions, Moonhub provides an AI-powered recruiting platform supported by human recruiters, offering clients the best of both worlds in a familiar and trustworthy format.
