Meet Joon and Sahil.
Together, we bring over 30 years of experience across Bain & Company, Pinterest, Yahoo, and multiple early-stage startups—as both operators and founders. We've been in the shoes of job seekers and hiring managers alike.
We are acutely aware that the job application and hiring process today is fundamentally broken. Candidates fire off hundreds of applications just to land a single interview, while hiring managers sift through walls of nearly identical resumes — many generated by the same AI tools meant to help them.
We started Exceptionals because we believe the system needs more than a patch solution — it needs a complete reimagining. With the rise of AI, there's an opportunity to build something far more transparent, efficient, and human.
At the end of the day, this isn't just about hiring. It's about people's careers—their livelihoods and their potential. Our mission is to ensure the future of hiring serves everyone better: faster for companies, fairer for candidates, and rooted in real human potential.
