The story
Umamy is an early-stage (founded 2025) French AI recruitment agency positioned as an alternative to traditional headhunters and RPOs. It combines a proprietary AI candidate-scoring engine with human recruiters, and distributes via MCP/ChatGPT connectors so founders can source from their AI of choice. It is a SaaS/services business — not a fintech — and consequently has no embedded finance stack.
