In a significant milestone, AI-driven recruitment platform Third Bracket has secured ₹5 crore in seed funding from a group of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs). The funding will enable the startup to deepen its AI capabilities, accelerate product innovation, and scale operations to meet the rising talent demands of enterprise clients.

Founded in 2023 by Chhandan Chakraborty and Nihar Bose, Third Bracket is reimagining the recruitment process through its smart SaaS platform. Designed to automate and optimize early-stage hiring, the platform handles everything from resume verification and skill assessments to evaluating cultural fit, helping companies zero in on candidates who not only qualify on paper but are also aligned with long-term organizational goals.

“Our goal is to help companies move beyond just filling roles. We’re building a system that truly understands talent—mapping skills, identifying growth potential, and ensuring the right fit through data-backed insights,” said co-founder Chhandan Chakraborty.

With an emphasis on skill mapping, predictive analytics, and gap analysis, Third Bracket aims to future-proof hiring strategies for fast-growing industries. The platform also extends support beyond recruitment by enabling upskilling and career development, helping companies nurture talent from within.

In just over a year, Third Bracket has already made its mark in high-growth sectors like FinTech and IT, collaborating with both mid-sized firms and unicorn startups. By addressing some of the most pressing pain points in hiring, the platform is fast becoming a go-to solution for companies looking to build agile, aligned, and scalable teams.

With fresh capital in hand, the startup plans to expand its AI engine further and build a robust tech stack that can keep pace with the evolving recruitment needs of modern enterprises. As hiring becomes more complex and competitive, Third Bracket is betting on AI-driven intelligence to give companies a strategic edge in building winning teams.
