Cauldron

Cauldron develops cloud-based recruitment software designed to streamline the hiring process. The technology integrates with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and enables companies to prescreen candidates using quick, role-specific tasks as they apply. This approach provides insights into a candidate's skills and offers features for assessing these skills and analyzing candidate performance, which helps companies reduce screening and interview times.

The platform is designed for talent acquisition teams to create more engaging and merit-based application experiences. It allows hiring managers to score applicant responses, and this data can be sent back to the company's primary ATS, such as Lever. Cauldron offers a free version for creating role-specific job pages and has launched several iterations of its product to improve the hiring workflow.

Founded in 2019 and based in Los Angeles, CA, the company operates in the HR Tech and SaaS verticals. According to a PitchBook profile, Cauldron participated in an accelerator/incubator program in January 2020. However, the same source also lists the company's status as 'Out of Business' as of June 2025, a detail that requires careful consideration.
